While today's completed returns showed that the Congress Party has a clear majority in the Lower Houses at Bombay, Madras, and in the United Provinces, the Central Provinces, and in Bihar and Orissa, and is the largest single party in Bengal, Assam, and the North-West Frontier, the party's working committee met under the presidency of Jawahar Lai Nehru to consider its policy, which officially is still in opposition to the new Constitution.
