Solution

The correct option is B Abolition of princely pensions
Indira Gandhi adopted a series of social and economic policies that transformed the system. She pursued nationalisation of private banks and abolished princely pensions given to the erstwhile princely states' rulers. Such steps taken by her gave a leftward orientation to the government.
