{'punjab': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'uttar pradesh': [5, 1, 0, 7], 'bihar': [1, 0, 2, 2], 'central provinces': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'bengal': [2, 0, 1, 2], 'madras': [21, 1, 12, 15]}

The correct answer is option 1: Bengal and Punjab. In 1937, during the provincial elections in British India, non-Congress parties came to power in these two states.

Option 2, which states Punjab and NWFP (North-West Frontier Province), is not correct. NWFP did not have a non-Congress ministry in 1937.

Option 3, Madras and Central Provinces, is also not correct. Madras (now Tamil Nadu) did have a non-Congress ministry, but the Central Provinces (now Madhya Pradesh) did not.

Option 4, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, is also not correct. While Bihar did have a non-Congress ministry, Uttar Pradesh did not.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1: Bengal and Punjab.
