Explanation

The Government of India Act of 1935 led to provincial elections in 1937. The Indian National Congress won a clear majority and formed ministries in eight out of the eleven provinces, including Bihar, Madras, and Orissa. In Punjab, the Congress did not secure a majority. Instead, the Unionist Party, led by Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, formed a coalition government with the support of the Muslim League and other groups. Therefore, a Congress ministry was not formed in Punjab.
