of the voters and scores of million disenfranchised to aquaint them with our policy and programme.
The results of elections were shocking for the muslims and muslim league INC GOT MASSIVE VICTORY
BY WINNING 711 seats
The congress alienated ml and asked victorious ml members to join inc .it refusedto cooperate with
ml .although its calim to slolely represent india was further frustrating for ml
these were the first formal elections for ml and these elections unified ml
It learned a lot about elections
Muslims felt betrayed bythe british who they though was giving inc opportunity to form government
without giving muslim rights
Poor performance of ml proved to be blessing in disguise for ml as it strengthened the two nation
theory further
