The Swaraj Party, also known as the Congress-Khilafat Swarajya Party, was formed in January 1923 by Chittaranjan Das and Motilal Nehru. The party was established following the suspension of the Non-Cooperation Movement after the Chauri Chaura incident to advocate for participation in the legislative councils to obstruct British policies from within.
The Swaraj Party was a result of the ideological rift within the Indian National Congress following the Gaya session of 1922, which is a pivotal event in the timeline of the Indian National Movement leading up to the 1935 Government of India Act.
C.R. Das served as the first President of the Swaraj Party.
Motilal Nehru served as the Secretary of the Swaraj Party.
The party adopted a policy of 'obstruction from within' the legislative councils created by the Government of India Act 1919.
The party was formed after the Gaya Session of Congress (1922) where the 'pro-changers' (who wanted to enter councils) were defeated by the 'no-changers' led by C. Rajagopalachari.
The Swarajists achieved a major victory in 1925 when Vithalbhai Patel was elected as the first Indian Speaker of the Central Legislative Assembly.
Option B (Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhash Chandra Bose) is incorrect as they were part of the younger, radical faction that advocated for 'Purna Swaraj' and opposed the council-entry politics.
Option C (Mahatma Gandhi and B.G. Tilak) is incorrect as Tilak passed away in 1920, and Gandhi was a 'no-changer' who prioritized constructive work.
A is correct тАФ The Swaraj Party was founded by C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru in 1923 to challenge British colonial rule from within the legislative councils.
Link the Swaraj Party's legislative strategy to the Government of India Act 1919 (Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms), as the Swarajists specifically sought to dismantle the dyarchy system implemented by this Act.
