Explanation: The Swaraj Party was established with the objective of option (c) entering the Councils and wrecking the Government from within. The Swaraj Party was formed in 1923 as a faction within the Indian National Congress. It was led by prominent leaders like Motilal Nehru and Chittaranjan Das. The party aimed to participate in the legislative councils established by the Government of India Act, 1919, and use these platforms to push for political reforms and press for greater self-governance and independence. The members of the Swaraj Party sought to expose and challenge the limitations and shortcomings of the British colonial administration from within the legislative councils. They used their presence in the councils to criticize and obstruct the government’s policies and advocate for greater autonomy for Indians.
