N.G. Ranga told his fellow members that most of them did not belong to the masses. What did he say about the masses?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → They were not able to come up to the Constituent Assembly
Option (1) They were not able to come up to the Constituent Assembly — Correct. Ranga said the masses themselves were not able to come up to the Assembly. It might take time, so for now the members spoke for them.
Option (2) They had chosen the members directly through universal adult franchise — Incorrect. Ranga did not say the masses had chosen the members directly. His point was the gap between the members and the masses.
Option (3) They had asked for separate electorates for each of their communities — Incorrect. Separate electorates were a demand of some minority leaders. Ranga spoke of the masses as a whole.
Option (4) They had rejected the Objectives Resolution as meaningless for them — Incorrect. The masses did not reject the Resolution. Ranga welcomed it but said the masses needed much more protection than it gave.
