Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept

To identify the first political organization associated with a constitutional demand, fix the category and chronology: an individual proposal, a party resolution, and later adoption by a larger organization are distinct milestones.

For a party-based question, compare the documented date of each named organization with the pre-independence constitutional movement.

Application

  1. The Swaraj Party was founded in 1923 and operated within the legislative politics of British India.

  2. At its conference on 3 May 1934, the Swaraj Party raised the demand for a Constituent Assembly to frame India’s constitution.

  3. The official TPSC final answer key for this paper identifies Swaraj Party as the accepted value.

Cross-check and contrast

  • The Bharatiya Janata Party began in 1980, decades after the Constituent Assembly completed its work.

  • ‘DYSS Party’ is not a standard documented organization in this historical sequence.

  • ‘Other Party’ does not identify a particular organization that can be dated or verified.

  • M. N. Roy is often credited as the first individual to advance the idea in 1934; the stem therefore asks specifically about a political party, matching the offered values and the official key.

Therefore, the best-supported answer among the offered parties is Swaraj Party.
