Answer 1

Justice party decided to contest in elections because this was like a golden opportunity for them to win the election as when the Congress party were contesting Justice party never win. So they contested even if the Congress party didn't.

Answer 2

The Justice Party, officially the South Indian Liberal Federation, was a political party in the Madras Presidency of British India. It was established in 1917 by T. M. Nair and P. Theagaraya Chetty as a result of a series of non-Brahmin conferences and meetings in the presidency. Communal division between Brahmins and non-Brahmins began in the presidency during the late-19th and early-20th century, mainly due to caste prejudices and disproportionate Brahminical representation in government jobs.
