Government of India Act of 1935
In August 1935, the British gove3rnment announced the Government of India Act. The main provisions of this act were:
1. India was to become a federation if more than 50 per cent of the Princely States decide to join it.
2. Provincial autonomy was granted. The ministers of provincial government s were to be responsible to the legislature. The power of the legislature was also increased. But the right to vote remained limited (only 14 per cent people had voting rights).
3. Diarchy was abolished at the provincial level but introduced at the Centre. The Viceroy became more powerful and was not to be responsible to the legislature.
The Act was rejected by the Congress. It, however, decided to contest the elections of the provincial legislative assemblies in AD 1937. The Muslim League also contested these elections.
