Answer 1

Socialists

Explanation:

The Socialists initially refused to join the Constituent Assembly, as they considered it a British creation under the Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946. They believed that a truly independent and sovereign body should draft India’s Constitution only after complete freedom from British rule. However, after India gained independence, most socialist leaders later participated in the constitutional process.
