Explanation:
In 1925, Labour-Swaraj Party of the Indian National Congress organized by Muzaffar Ahmed, Qazi Nazrul Islam, Hemanta Kumar Sarkar, and others in Bengal. In 1926, a Congress Labour Party was formed in Bombay and a Kirti-Kisan Party in Punjab. A Labour Kisan Party of Hindustan had been functioning in Madras since 1923. By 1928 all of these provincial organizations had been renamed the Workers’ and Peasants’ Party (WPP) and knit into an all-India party, whose units were also set up in Rajasthan, UP and
Delhi. All Communists were members of this party.
The basic objective of the WPPs was to work within the Congress to give it a more radical orientation and make it ‘the party of the people’ and independently organize
workers and peasants in class organizations, to enable first the achievement of complete independence and ultimately of socialism. The WPPs played an important role in
creating a strong left-wing within the Congress and in giving the Indian national movement a leftward direction.
