Who is the Chairman of the Regional Council?
Union Home Minister
The 'Regional Council' in the stem refers to the Zonal Councils of India.
Five Zonal Councils (Northern, Central, Eastern, Western and Southern) were set up under the States Reorganisation Act, 1956 to promote cooperation between the Centre and the States. They are statutory bodies, not constitutional ones.
The Union Home Minister is the common chairman of all five Zonal Councils, and the Chief Ministers of the member states take turns as vice-chairman.
Hence, the Chairman of the Zonal (Regional) Council is the Union Home Minister.
