Consider the following statements with reference to the Workers and Peasants Party:1.The Workers and Peasants Party was formed in 1927 and was given the form of an All India Organisation.2.The objective of this party was to work within the Congress so that it could be made a more revolution inclined party and an organisation of the common people.Which of the above statements is/are correct?Select the correct answer from the code given below:

1. A

   Both 1 and 2

   Option (a) claims that both statement 1 and statement 2 are correct. However, statement 1 is factually incorrect regarding the specific year of formation of the All India Workers and Peasants Party. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

2. B

   Neither 1 nor 2

   Option (b) claims that neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct. This is incorrect because statement 2 accurately describes the political objective of the party to work within the Indian National Congress. Thus, this option cannot be accepted.

3. C

   Only 1

   Option (c) claims that only statement 1 is correct. This is incorrect because the first statement gets the foundational year wrong for the all-India body, while statement 2 is indeed correct. Hence, this option is rejected.

4. D

   Only 2

   Option (d) claims that only statement 2 is correct. Statement 1 is incorrect because the Workers and Peasants Party was actually organized on an all-India basis in December 1928 at its Calcutta conference, though provincial parties existed earlier, and statement 2 is completely correct as its primary strategy was to function within the Congress to push it toward a more radical, anti-imperialist mass orientation.

Summary. Official key is (d) because statement 1 contains an error regarding the exact year of the All India organization while statement 2 correctly states the strategy of working within the Congress. The Workers and Peasants Party played a significant role in radicalizing the national movement from within during the late 1920s. Students often confuse the provincial formations with the all-India consolidation that happened slightly later. Thus, only the second statement holds true under historical scrutiny.
