Which statement is not true regarding the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in reference to the 1967 state elections?

None of the above

In Madras State, which is now known as Tamil Nadu, a regional party called the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) achieved power by securing a clear majority. This victory came on the heels of the DMK's leadership in a widespread anti-Hindi agitation by students, protesting against the imposition of Hindi as the official language by the central government. Notably, this marked the first instance where a non-Congress party secured an independent majority in any state.

In the remaining eight states, coalition governments were established, comprising diverse non-Congress parties. A common adage humorously captured the situation: one could travel by train from Delhi to Howrah without traversing a single state governed by the Congress Party. This stark contrast was a remarkable departure for those accustomed to witnessing Congress Party's dominance.
