Explanation:

As an answer to the challenge of the Simon Commission, Indian political leaders organized several all-India conferences to settle communal issues and draw up an agreed constitution for India. A large number of Muslim communal leaders met at Delhi in December 1927 and evolved four basic demands known as the Delhi Proposals.

Delhi proposal had 4 demands:
1) Sindh to be made a separate electorate,
2) NWFP should be treated constitutionally on the same footing as other provinces.
3) Muslims should be have 33.3 % reservation in the central legislature.
4) Proportional representation in Punjab and Bengal.

Nehru accepted the first two demands of Delhi proposals related to Sindh and NWFP. However it did not accept the other two demands.
