Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Prime Minister Nehru and Deputy Prime Minister Vallabhbhai Patel were against the creation
of linguistic states. In the 1920s, the Indian National Congress, the country's main liberation party, promised that once the country gained independence, each major linguistic group would have its province. However, after independence, Congress took no action to keep this promise. India had been divided along religious lines: despite Mahatma Gandhi's wishes and efforts, freedom had come to two nations rather than one. The country could not afford more linguistic divisions, and the leaders opposed the formation of linguistic states. Prime Minister Nehru and Deputy Prime Minister Vallabhbhai Patel opposed the establishment of linguistic states.
