The '''Congress Nationalist Party''' was a [[political party]] in [[British India]]. It was founded by [[Madan Mohan Malaviya]] and [[Madhav Shrihari Aney]] in 1934.<ref name=beck>{{cite book|last=Beck|first=Sanderson|title=SOUTH ASIA 1800-1950|url=http://www.san.beck.org/20-6-LiberatingIndia1934-50.html}}</ref><br />

The [[Communal Award]] was announced in 1932 to grant separate electorates to minority communities in Indian legislatures. In protest against the Communal Award, Malaviya and Aney split away from the [[Indian National Congress]] and started the Congress Nationalist Party. The party contested the [[1934 Indian general election|1934 elections]] to the central legislature and won 12 seats.<ref>[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/schwartzberg/fullscreen.html?object=110 Schwartzberg Atlas]</ref> The Congress and the Nationalists together formed the majority in the [[Central Legislative Assembly]]. By 1941, it was the main opposition party in the assembly.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=8M8-AAAAIBAJ&sjid=fkwMAAAAIBAJ&pg=5196,3940958|title=Congress Nationalist Assembly Party|accessdate=19 August 2013|newspaper=The Indian Express|date=9 November 1941}}</ref><br />
