In the provincial elections, Congress formed government in most provinces except in Bengal and Sindh. The correct answer is option 'A', which means 1 and 2 only. Let's break down the explanation in detail:
1. Congress forming government in most provinces:
- The question states that Congress formed government in most provinces, which implies that Congress was successful in winning the majority of seats in those provinces during the elections.
- The exact number of provinces where Congress formed the government is not mentioned, but it is implied that it is more than the provinces where they did not form the government.
2. Exceptions:
- The question mentions that Congress did not form the government in Bengal and Sindh.
- This means that in the provincial elections, other political parties or alliances were successful in securing a majority of seats in these two provinces, preventing Congress from forming the government.
3. Bengal:
- Bengal refers to the province of West Bengal in India. It is one of the largest states in terms of population and has a significant political influence.
- The question implies that in the provincial elections, Congress was not successful in winning the majority of seats in West Bengal. Therefore, another political party or alliance formed the government.
4. Sindh:
- Sindh refers to the province of Sindh in Pakistan. It is one of the four provinces of Pakistan and is known for its economic and cultural significance.
- The question suggests that Congress did not form the government in Sindh during the provincial elections. This means that another political party or alliance won the majority of seats in this province.
5. NWFP:
- NWFP stands for North-West Frontier Province, which was a former province in British India. It is now known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and is one of the provinces of Pakistan.
- The question does not mention anything about Congress forming or not forming the government in NWFP. Hence, it is not relevant to the given options.
In summary, Congress formed the government in most provinces, except in Bengal and Sindh, during the provincial elections. Therefore, option 'A' - 1 and 2 only, is the correct answer.
