Consider the following statements with reference to the Workers and Peasants Party :
1. The Workers and Peasants Party was formed in 1927 and was given the form of an All India Organisation.
2. The objective of this party was to work within the Congress so that it could be made a more revolution inclined party and an organisation of the common people.
Which of the above statements is/are correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The Workers and Peasants Party (WPP) was a political platform established by the Communist Party of India (CPI) to operate legally within the Indian National Congress. Statement 1 is incorrect because, while regional units like the Bombay WPP were formed in 1927, the All India Workers and Peasants Party was formally established only in December 1928 at a conference in Calcutta. Prior to this, the party existed as separate provincial units. Statement 2 is correct; the WPP's primary objective was to act as a radicalizing force within the Congress. They aimed to push the Congress towards demanding complete independence (Purna Swaraj) and to transform it into a mass-based organization representing the common people, particularly workers and peasants, rather than just the middle class.
