Explanation

The famous JVP committee was appointed in December 1948 to examine the issue of reorganization of states on linguistic basis. Earlier in 1920, the members of the Indian National Congress had agreed on the linguistic reorganization of the Indian states as one of the party's political goals.[3] The Provincial Committees of the party were set on this basis since 1920. In 1927, the Congress declared that it was committed to "the redistribution of provinces on a linguistic basis" and reaffirmed its stance several times including in the election manifesto of 1945-46.
