In which month and year did the Congress ministries end?

Correct answer: November 1939. The Congress ministries resigned in late 1939, reaching their end in November 1939.

Background: They resigned in protest against India being drawn into the Second World War without consultation.

• September 1937: September 1937 is when they were in office, not when they ended.
• December 1939: The ministries had already resigned before December 1939; the League celebrated Deliverance Day then.
• All of these: “All of these” is incorrect because only one date is correct.

Did you know? The Muslim League celebrated the Day of Deliverance on 22 December 1939.

Memory trick: Congress left office in late 1939.
