Indian National Congress<\/span><\/a> formed governments in <\/span>8 out of 11 provinces in British India<\/b> and ruled from<\/span> February 1937 to October 1939. <\/b>Those were Madras, Bombay, Central Provinces, Orissa, Bihar, United Provinces, and later NWFP and Assam. T<\/span>he Congress Working Committee<\/b> accepted the office under the act of 1935. The Congress was now to function both as a government in the provinces and as the opposition vis-a-vis the <\/span>Central government<\/b> where effective state power lay. It was a historically unique situation to bring about social reforms through the effective use of legislature and administration in provinces and at the same time carry on their <\/span>struggle for independence<\/b> and prepare the people for the <\/span>next stage of mass struggle.<\/b><\/p>\n
