Explanation:

The Swatantra Party was formed in August 1959 after the Nagpur Resolution of the Congress which called for land ceilings, take over of food grain trade by the state and adoption of co-operative farming. The party was led by old Congressmen like C. Rajagopalchari, K.M. Munshi, N.G. Ranga and Minoo Masani.

Founded in 1929, as National Revolutionary Party and later renamed as the Institutional Revolutionary Party, the PRI (in Spanish), exercised power in Mexico for almost six decades. It represented the legacy of the Mexican revolution. Originally PRI was a mixture of various interests including political and military leaders, labour and peasant organisations and numerous political parties.

The Congress Socialist Party was formed in 1934 with Acharya Narendra Dev as the founding President of Congress Socialist Party.

The Indian National Congress (INC) was established in 1885, making it the oldest and one of the most prominent political parties in India. Its formation marked the beginning of organized political activity for India's independence from British colonial rule.
