Question

In which of the following provinces the congress ministry was not formed in June 1937?
A. United provinces
B. Central provinces
C. Madras
D. Assam

Answer 1

Hint: A province is an administrative division within a country or state. Since then, the term "province" has been adopted by many countries. In some countries without actual provinces, "province" is a metaphorical term that means "outside the capital."

Complete answer:
In British India, provincial elections were held in the winter of 1936-37, as prescribed by the Indian Government Act 1935. Elections were held in eleven provinces - Madras, Central Province, Bihar, Orissa, United Province, Bombay Presidency, Assam, NWFP, Bengal, Punjab and Sindh.
The last election results were announced in February 1937. The Indian National Congress rules in eight provinces except Punjab and Sindh. The All India Muslim League could not form a government in any province.
The Ministry of Congress resigned in October and November 1939 in protest against Viceroy Lord Linlithgow's act of declaring India a warring state during the second World War without consulting the Indian people.
In Assam, Congress won 33 of the 108 seats, making it the largest political party, even though it was unable to form ministries. The Governor called on the former judicial member of Assam and the leader of the Muslim Party of Assam, Sir Mohammed Sadulla, to establish the ministry. Congress was part of the ruling coalition. With the enthusiastic participation of many brave activists, Assam became a constituent country of India in 1950. When Dewangiri in Kamarupa North was ceded to Bhutan in 1951, the area of ​​Assam was further reduced.
So, the correct answer is option D.

Note: The Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP) was a British Indian and later a province of Pakistan. It was founded in 1901 and was known by this name in 2010. On April 19, 2010, President Asif Ali Zardari signed the 18th amendment, and the region became Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.
