Indian Political Parties and Elections

Subhas Chandra Bose founded the All India Forward Bloc in 1939 after resigning from the Indian National Congress presidency due to ideological differences with Gandhi. The Indian National Congress (with typo in option A) was the party he left. Azad Hindu is not a complete party name. The Indian National Army (INA) was his military force, not his political party.

The Malhotra Committee, chaired by R.N. Malhotra (former RBI Governor), submitted its landmark report in 1994 recommending comprehensive reforms in the insurance sector, which eventually led to the IRDA Act 1999.

The Srikrishna Committee (officially the Committee for Consultation on the Situation in Andhra Pradesh) was formed by the Government of India in 2010 to examine the demand for separate Telangana state and the United Andhra issue. It was headed by former Supreme Court Justice Justice BN Srikrishna.

The election symbol of Samajwadi Party is the Cycle (bicycle). This symbol is recognized by the Election Commission of India and is used by the party in all elections. The cycle symbol represents progress and movement.

The Janata Party won the 1977 Lok Sabha elections, defeating Indira Gandhi's Congress party. This election followed the Emergency period and was a significant political victory for the opposition coalition. BJP and Janata Dal did not exist in 1977, and Left Front was not the ruling party. 'Janatha' is an alternate spelling of 'Janata'.

Dr. Manmohan Singh was never a directly elected Lok Sabha Member of Parliament. He served as Prime Minister of India from 2004-2014 while being a member of the Rajya Sabha (upper house). He represented Assam in the Rajya Sabha, not any Punjab constituency.

The Indian National Congress, founded in 1885, is India's oldest political party. The Forward Block (1939), BJP (1980), and Indian Muslim League (1906, though older than INC, it was not originally an India-wide party in the same sense) were formed later.

Mumbai is a city in the state of Maharashtra, India. The question attempts to make multiple valid claims about Mumbai's belonging. Mumbai belongs to Maharashtra geographically and politically, and to all Indians in a broader national sense. The 'Bharatiya Janata' reference appears to be truncated or referring to political affiliation rather than ownership.

Chennai has three parliamentary constituencies: Chennai North, Chennai South, and Chennai Central. Chennai West is not a valid parliamentary constituency.

Kerala indeed holds the historical distinction of being the first place in the world where a communist government was democratically elected through ballot box. This occurred in 1957 when the Communist Party of India won the state legislative assembly elections under E.M.S. Namboodiripad's leadership. This is a well-documented historical fact in political history.

Amitabh Bachchan was elected as Member of Parliament from Allahabad in 1984 (not 1983 as stated) on a Congress party ticket, defeating H.N. Bahuguna. He served from 1984-1987 but resigned after his name appeared in the Bofors scandal. Lucknow was his later constituency (1998-2004), while Kanpur, Banaras were never his constituencies.

Afghanistan's parliament is called the National Assembly, which consists of two houses: the House of the People (Wolesi Jirga) and the House of Elders (Meshrano Jirga). 'Majilis' refers to councils in Arabic-speaking countries. National Panchayat was Nepal's old parliament. Jatiya Sansad is Bangladesh's parliament.
