Practicing Success
Which one of the following is a state where Congress did not get a majority to form the government even after a huge victory in the first general elections? |
Bihar Maharashtra Madhya Pradesh Orissa |
Orissa |
The Congress achieved a significant triumph in those elections, securing a majority of seats in all states except Travancore-Cochin (now part of Kerala), Madras, and Orissa. However, the Congress eventually formed the government even in these states. As a result, the party held power at both the national and state levels, governing the entire country. As anticipated, Jawaharlal Nehru assumed the role of Prime Minister following the first general election. |
