Solution
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
Explanation:
During World War II (1939-1945), the British Government confirmed India’s involvement without consulting Indian politicians, causing anger among the Indian National Congress. In 1939, the Congress Ministries, which held power in many provinces under the Government of India Act (1935), resigned in protest of the unilateral decision.
