Options:
In the Provincial elections were again held in 1946 the Congress swept the general constituencies, capturing 91.3 per cent of the non-Muslim vote.

By 1946 Muslim League established itself as the "sole spokesman" of Indian Muslims.
All of the above
Correct Answer:
All of the above
Explanation:
Provincial elections were again held in 1946. The Congress swept the general constituencies, capturing 91.3 per cent of the non-Muslim vote. The League’s success in the seats reserved for Muslims was equally spectacular: it won all 30 reserved constituencies in the Centre with 86.6 per cent of the Muslim vote and 442 out of 509 seats in the provinces. Only as late as 1946, therefore, did the League establish itself as the dominant party among Muslim voters, seeking to vindicate its claim to be the “sole spokesman” of India’s Muslims
