Highlight the circumstances that compelled the socialists to form a separate Socialist Party in 1948. Mention any two grounds on which they criticized the Congress Party.

Answer:

The Congress Socialist Party was formed within the Congress in 1934. In 1948, the congress amended its constitution to prevent its members from having a dual party membership. This forced the Socialists to form a separate Socialist Party in 1948.

They criticized the Congress for favouring capitalists and landlords and for ignoring the workers and the peasants.
