Swaraj Party was the outcome of which of the following incidents?

Verified Answer
A. Chauri Chaura
B. Quit India Movement
C. Arrival of Simon Commission
D. Bardoli Satyagraha

Explanation:

The Swaraj Party was formed in January 1923 by C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru, primarily as a direct consequence of the Chauri Chaura incident in February 1922. Mahatma Gandhi's decision to abruptly withdraw the Non-Cooperation Movement following the violence at Chauri Chaura led to disillusionment among some Congress leaders. They sought an alternative strategy of council entry to obstruct British administration from within the legislative councils, leading to the formation of the Swaraj Party. The Quit India Movement (1942), arrival of Simon Commission (1928), and Bardoli Satyagraha (1928) occurred much later.
