Who among the following was the first to accept a ministerial position in the Central Provinces in October 1925?

S. B. Tambe was the first member of the Swaraj Party to accept a ministerial position in the Central Provinces in October 1925 . This event marked a significant turning point in the Swarajist strategy of 'constant, consistent, and uniform obstruction' from within the legislatures. Tambe's acceptance of the Executive Council membership led to a major rift within the Swaraj Party, as it was done without the party's official consent. This action was supported by the 'Responsivists' group, which included leaders like M. R. Jayakar and B. S. Moonje, who advocated for cooperation with the government to protect Hindu interests and work the reforms . While the Swaraj Party initially aimed to wreck the 1919 reforms from within, the internal division caused by Tambe's move eventually weakened the party's unified stance against the British administration.
