Universal adult franchise was not a demand made by the Congress moderates.
The early Congress moderates (roughly 1885-1905) primarily sought constitutional reforms, including a larger share for Indians in the administration and legislative councils, but based on limited franchise (often property or education based), not universal adult suffrage. Universal adult franchise became a core demand of the nationalist movement later.
