The INC was founded in 1885 by Allan Octavian Hume, a retired British civil servant, to act as a pressure group for Indian interests within the British Raj. The INC initially focused on social reform and education, but it soon became involved in the independence movement. The INC led the Quit India Movement in 1942, which was a major turning point in the independence struggle. After India gained independence in 1947, the INC became the ruling party at the national level. The INC also won the first general election in Assam in 1952. The INC has been the ruling party in Assam for most of the time since then. The INC has been able to maintain its dominance in Assam due to a number of factors, including its strong organization, its appeal to the state&#8217;s diverse population, and its ability to deliver on its promises.<\/p>\n<p>The Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) is a regional political party in Assam. The AGP was founded in 1985 by a group of Assamese intellectuals and activists who were opposed to the influx of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. The AGP won the 1985 state assembly elections and formed the government. The AGP was defeated in the 1991 state assembly elections, but it returned to power in 2001. The AGP is currently the main opposition party in Assam.<\/p>\n<p>The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is a national political party in India. The BJP was founded in 1980 by a group of leaders who were opposed to the policies of the then-ruling Indian National Congress (INC). The BJP is the ideological successor of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist organization. The BJP has been the ruling party at the national level since 2014. The BJP has not been able to win a majority of seats in the Assam state assembly elections so far.<\/p>\n<p>The Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) is a communist political party in India. The CPI(M) was founded in 1964 as a result of a split in the Communist Party of India (CPI). The CPI(M) is the ruling party in the state of Kerala. The CPI(M) has not been able to win a majority of seats in the Assam state assembly elections so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Indian National Congress&#8221;
