Q. The Congress Ministries resigned in November 1939 because of which of the following reasons?
Answer: India was dragged into the Second World War without the consent of her people
Notes: The Congress ministries resigned in October and November 1939, in protest against Viceroy Lord Linlithgow's action of declaring India to be a belligerent in the Second World War without consulting the Indian people. The British Government felt relieved by the resignation of the Congress Ministers because they controlled eight out of the eleven provinces and had the power to impair the war efforts of the Government.
