Explanation
★Ram Manohar Lohia expounded decentralised socialism, so the answer is Ram Manohar Lohia.
★Lohia rejected the heavy, centralised state planning favoured by Nehru.
★He wanted economic and political power dispersed to small units and regions.
★He stressed small-scale technology and the strengthening of village and district bodies.
★His four-pillar state placed real power in village, district, state and centre together.
★This fused socialism with Gandhian decentralisation and self-reliance.
★So decentralised socialism is distinctly Lohia's doctrine.
