Consider the following statements and choose the correct option :

(i) J.B. Kripalani formed the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party in July, 1952

(ii) P. C. Ghosh and T. Prakasam were associated with Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party

The correct answer is

(i) is false, but (ii) is true

The question asks us to analyze two statements related to the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party and identify the correct option. To do this, we need to examine each statement for its accuracy regarding the party's formation and its associated leaders.

Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party Formation

The Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party (KMPP) was a short-lived political party in India. It was formed by a group of leaders who had left the Indian National Congress due to ideological differences, particularly regarding the post-independence political and economic direction. The party aimed to represent the interests of farmers (Kisan) and laborers (Mazdoor) and advocate for a decentralized, egalitarian society.

J.B. Kripalani and KMPP Formation

Let's carefully examine statement (i): "J.B. Kripalani formed the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party in July, 1952."

  • J.B. Kripalani, a prominent Indian independence activist and former President of the Indian National Congress, did indeed play a pivotal role in forming the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party. He was one of the key figures who broke away from the Congress.
  • However, the crucial detail here is the year of formation. The Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party was formed in June 1951, not July 1952. Kripalani resigned from the Congress in 1951 and subsequently founded this new party.
  • Therefore, statement (i) is factually incorrect regarding the year of formation.

Key Leaders of Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party

Now let's consider statement (ii): "P. C. Ghosh and T. Prakasam were associated with Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party."

  • P. C. Ghosh (Prafulla Chandra Ghosh) was a significant political figure from West Bengal. He was the first Chief Minister of West Bengal. He left the Congress and joined the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party.
  • T. Prakasam (Tanguturi Prakasam Pantulu) was a notable leader from Andhra Pradesh, famously known as "Andhra Kesari." He was also a prominent Congress leader who parted ways with the party to join and support the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party. He later became the first Chief Minister of Andhra State.
  • Both P. C. Ghosh and T. Prakasam were indeed prominent leaders who were associated with the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party after its formation, bringing considerable political weight to the new outfit.
  • Therefore, statement (ii) is factually correct.

Statement Analysis Summary

Based on our detailed analysis, we can summarize the accuracy of each statement:

Statement Number Statement Content Accuracy Reason
(i) J.B. Kripalani formed the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party in July, 1952. False The party was formed in June 1951, not July 1952.
(ii) P. C. Ghosh and T. Prakasam were associated with Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party. True Both P. C. Ghosh and T. Prakasam were key leaders who joined the KMPP.

Conclusion on Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party Statements

Combining the findings for both statements, we conclude that statement (i) is false, and statement (ii) is true. This aligns with the option that states "(i) is false, but (ii) is true".
