In the 1937 elections to the provincial legislatures, the Muslim League failed to win a single seat in which of the following place marked on the map?

B

The correct answer is Option 2 - B

The point 'B' on the map is North West Frontier Province.

In 1937, elections to the provincial legislatures were held for the first time. The Muslim League also fared poorly, polling only 4.4 per cent of the total Muslim vote cast in this election. The League failed to win a single seat in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and could capture only two out of 84 reserved constituencies in Punjab and three out of 33 in Sind. In the United Provinces, the Muslim League wanted to form a joint government with Congress. The Congress had won an absolute majority in the province, so it rejected the offer. Some scholars argue that this rejection convinced the League that if India remained united, then Muslims would find it difficult to gain political power because they would remain a minority.
