Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B) and (C) only

The correct answer is Option (1) → (A), (B) and (C) only

(A) After the 1967 elections, the Congress party retained power at the Centre but with a reduced majority and lost power in many States. (Correct).
(B) The real challenge to Indira Gandhi came not from the opposition but from within her own party. (Correct)
(C) The Syndicate was led by K. Kamraj, former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and then the president of the Congress party. (Correct)
(D) The Syndicate included S. Nijalingappa of Mysore, Atulya Ghosh from Assam and N. Sanjeeva Reddy of Andhra Pradesh. (Incorrect). While the Syndicate did include S. Nijalingappa and Atulya Ghosh, Atulya Ghosh was from West Bengal, not Assam. N. Sanjeeva Reddy was from Andhra Pradesh, but the statement’s error makes it incorrect.

"Syndicate was the informal name given to a group of Congress leaders who were in control of the party’s organisation. It was led by K. Kamraj, former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and then the president of the Congress party. It included powerful State leaders like S. K. Patil of Bombay city (later named as Mumbai), S. Nijalingappa of Mysore (later Karnataka), N. Sanjeeva Reddy of Andhra Pradesh and Atulya Ghosh of West Bengal."
