Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion A: Asom Gana Sangram Parishad organised themselves as a regional political party called Asom Gana Parishad.

Reason R: It came to power in 1985 with the promise of resolving the foreign national problem as well as to build a 'Golden Assam'.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

The correct answer is Option 1 - Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Assertion A: Asom Gana Sangram Parishad organised themselves as a regional political party called Asom Gana Parishad. This is correct.

Reason R: It came to power in 1985 with the promise of resolving the foreign national problem as well as to build a 'Golden Assam'. This is correct. 

NCERT "After six years of unrest, the government led by Rajiv Gandhi engaged in negotiations with the AASU leaders, resulting in the signing of an accord in 1985. According to this agreement, individuals who had migrated into Assam during and after the Bangladesh war and subsequent periods were to be identified and deported. Following the successful conclusion of the movement, both the AASU and the Asom Gana Sangram Parishad reorganized themselves into a regional political party known as Asom Gana Parishad (AGP). This party came to power in 1985, promising to address the issue of foreign nationals and to foster the development of a 'Golden Assam.'"

Note: Assertion A is about the formation of a political party (AGP). Reason R is about what happened after it was formed — it came to power in 1985 with specific promises. So while both statements are factually correct, R does not explain why A happened — it follows A chronologically. This makes R a consequence, not the cause or explanation of A. Thus, the answer should be Option 2- Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A. however, the NTA has given Option 1 as the correct answer for this question in the answer key. therefore, Option has been marked as the correct answer herein.
