Who gave the strategy of 'Non-Congressism'?

Correct option is A

Ram Manohar Lohia, a notable socialist leader, proposed the strategy of 'Non-Congressism' during the 1960s. This strategy emerged in response to the dominance of the Congress Party in Indian politics and the widespread public dissatisfaction with the government due to economic crises, food shortages, and political instability. Lohia argued that Congress rule was undemocratic and detrimental to the interests of the common people. He believed that in order to reclaim democracy and better serve the interests of the poor, it was essential for the non-Congress parties to unite against the Congress. This coalition of diverse political groups, despite their different ideologies, aimed to topple the Congress and restore democratic governance.
