Explanation
The 27th annual session of the Indian National Congress was held in 1912 at Bankipur, Patna. This was the first annual Congress session held in Bihar. The session was presided over by Raghunath Narasinha Mudholkar. The General Secretaries of this session were D. E. Wacha and D. A. Khare. Maulana Mazharul Haq was the President of the Reception Committee. Since the 27th session was held at Bankipur in Patna, therefore, if both Bankipur and Patna are given as options in any question, Bankipur will be given priority on the basis of the specific place.
