Explanation
In the 1937 provincial elections the Congress emerged as the single largest party in most provinces, but in Punjab the Unionist Party and in Sind the United Party (of Allah Bakhsh Soomro) won the most seats, keeping the Congress from the top position. In Assam and NWFP the Congress did become the single largest party (forming coalition governments), and in Madras it won outright.
