(A) Government of India Act promises some form of representative government — 1935. Under this Act elections were held in 1937, and the Congress came to power in eight of the eleven provinces.
(C) Congress ministries resign — 1939. After the Second World War broke out, talks with the Viceroy on India’s part in the War broke down, and the Congress ministries resigned.
