More spectacular was the League?s success in the minority provinces. In Assam, the League won thirty one (91%) out of thirty four Muslim seats, the rest going to the Jamiat. In Bihar, the League gained thirty four (85%) out of forty seats, pro-Congress Momins five and Congress Muslims one. In the United Provinces, where the Congress patronized both the Sunni Board and its rival, the Shia Political Conference, in order to divide Muslim votes, the League secured fifty four (82%) out of sixty six seats, the Congress two out of the thirty seats it had contested, and Nationalist Muslims seven. Rafi Ahmad Kidwai, a former Congress minister, lost in all the three constituencies he had contested, and so his brother. In the Central Provinces, the League captured thirteen (93%) out of fourteen seats and the Momins one; all the three Congress candidates lost their securities. In Orissa, Bombay and Madras, the results were cent percent. In Orissa, the League won all the four seats, with its opponents forfeiting securities in two of the three contested seats. In Bombay, the League captured all the thirty seats, with seven uncontested, with its opponents forfeiting securities in nineteen; with the League polling 93.2 percent votes. The crowning achievement to League?s streak of success was finally provided by Madras. It elected unopposed four candidates to the Legislative Council, and thirteen to the Assembly. In the sixteen contested constituencies, the League polled 93.04 percent votes, with only one opponent claiming back his security money. Jinnah hailed the Madras results as a ?magnificent victory?, while Daulatana called them ?wonderful and historic?.
