  • 1942

  • 1944

  • 1946

  • 1948

Answer

Suhrawardy led the BPML to win the 1946 general election. The party had been formed in 1943 by Suhrawardy and other Bengali Muslim politicians who were opposed to the Muslim League's demand for a separate Muslim state. The BPML campaigned for a united Bengal, and its victory in the 1946 election was seen as a setback for the Muslim League.
