Q. Consider the following statements regarding the Chirala-Perala Struggle:
  1. The leader of the movement was Duggirala Gopala Krishnayya.
  2. During this struggle, a volunteer corps called Ramadandu was raised.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Answer: Both 1 and 2 are incorrect
Notes: The correct answer is option 4.
  1. Although Duggirala Gopala Krishnayya was a noted figure in Andhra’s freedom movement, he was not the leader of the Chirala-Perala Struggle; it was led by others in the local area.
  2. The volunteer corps known as Ramadandu is associated with later events in Andhra’s political history, not directly with the Chirala-Perala Struggle.
Thus, both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect, as the leadership and the mentioned corps do not accurately reflect the historical facts of the Chirala-Perala Struggle.
