Detailed Solution

According to the Government of India Act 1935, the elections were held for provincial legislatures in India in 1937.
Under the requirements of the Government of India Act of 1935, provincial elections had held in 1937. The Congress Left was opposed to the idea of running provincial elections. Participating in the elections, they argue, would diminish their position, implying cooperation with the oppressive regime. Assuming office after the election would mean having "responsibility without power." Taking office would detract from the movement's revolutionary nature. The Government of India Act 1935 required British India to hold provincial elections in the winter of 1936-37. Madras, Central Provinces, Bihar, Orissa, United Provinces, Bombay Presidency, Assam, NWFP, Bengal, Punjab, and Sindh were among the eleven provinces that held elections.
