Question:

The roots of the extraordinary success of the Congress party go back to the legacy of the freedom struggle. Congress was seen as inheritor of the national movement. Many leaders who were in the forefront of that struggle were now contesting elections as Congress candidates. The Congress was already a very well-organised party and by the time the other parties could even think of a strategy, the Congress had already started its campaign.

The best word to describe the nature of Congress during the freedom struggle and after the independence would be All-inclusive.

The success of the Congress party can be traced back to its association with the freedom struggle and its status as the inheritor of the national movement.
Many leaders who played key roles in the independence movement ran as Congress candidates in elections.
The Congress party was already well-organized, allowing it to start its campaign early while other parties were still formulating strategies.
In fact, several parties were formed only around or after independence, giving Congress a "first off the blocks" advantage.
By the time of independence, the Congress party had a widespread presence across the country and a well-established organizational network.
Importantly, as the Congress party was rooted in the national movement, it had an all-inclusive nature.
All these factors contributed to the Congress party's dominance in India.
