Which one of the following statements about the All India Depressed Classes Association is not correct?

The All India Depressed Classes Association was established in 1926 in Nagpur, with M. C. Rajah serving as its first elected President. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar did not attend the 1926 meeting and later developed significant ideological differences with the organization. In 1930, Ambedkar resigned from the Association and founded his own organization, the All India Depressed Classes Congress. The primary point of contention was the demand for separate electorates. While Ambedkar strongly advocated for separate electorates for the depressed classes at the Round Table Conferences [2], the All India Depressed Classes Association, under M. C. Rajah's leadership, eventually moved toward the Rajah-Moonje Pact (1932), which favored joint electorates with reserved seats. Therefore, the statement that the Association favored Ambedkar's demand for separate electorates is incorrect, as they ultimately supported joint electorates [4].
