Explanation
The Congress Socialist Party (CSP) was founded in 1934 by leaders such as Jayaprakash Narayan, Acharya Narendra Deva, and Ram Manohar Lohia [4]. M.N. Roy was a prominent communist leader who founded the Communist Party of India in Tashkent and later the Radical Democratic Party, but he was not a founder of the CSP.

Jayakar after splitting from the Congress [3]. The Jamiat-ul Ulema-e Hind was established in 1919 under the leadership of Maulana Mahmud al-Hasan, also known as Shaikh-ul-Hind [2]. The Congress Democratic Party was founded by Bal Gangadhar Tilak in 1920 to contest elections under the Montagu-Chelmsford reforms.
