Both the Congress and the Muslim League were critical of the Government of India Act, 1935, but decide to participate in the elections to be held under it during the First weeks of 1937. Their electoral programmes were similar. The Muslim League laid down two main principles on which its elected representatives would work:
1. The present provincial constitution and proposed central constitution should be replaced by a system of self-government.
2. In the meantime the representatives of the Muslim League would sincerely work to get the maximum benefits out of the present constitution.
The Congress also came forward with the slogans of public welfare, freedom and liberty and for the release of the political prisoners.
The result of the elections and the proud they produced in the Congress camp shattered these hopes.
