<P> The Viceroy began organising the transfer of power to a Congress - League coalition but League president Muhammad Ali Jinnah denounced the hesitant and conditional approval of the Congress and rescinded League approval of both plans . Thus Congress leaders entered the Viceroy's Executive Council or the Interim Government of India . Nehru became the head, vice-president in title, but possessing the executive authority . Patel became the home member, responsible for internal security and government agencies . Congress - led governments were formed in most provinces, including the NWFP, in Punjab (a coalition with the Shiromani Akali Dal and the Unionist Muslim League). The League led governments in Bengal and Sind . The Constituent Assembly was instructed to begin work to write a new constitution for India . </P> <P> Jinnah and the League condemned the new government, and vowed to agitate for Pakistan by any means possible . Disorder arose in Punjab and Bengal, including the cities of Delhi, Bombay and Calcutta . On the League - organized Direct Action Day, over 5,000 people were killed across India, and Hindu, Sikh and Muslim mobs began clashing routinely . Wavell stalled the Central government's efforts to stop the disorder, and the provinces were instructed to leave this to the governors, who did not undertake any major action . To end the disorder and rising bloodshed, Wavell encouraged Nehru to ask the League to enter the government . While Patel and most Congress leaders were opposed to conceding to a party that was organising disorder, Nehru conceded in hope of preserving communal peace . </P> <P> League leaders entered the council under the leadership of Liaquat Ali Khan, the future first Prime Minister of Pakistan who became the finance minister, but the council did not function in harmony, as separate meetings were not held by League ministers, and both parties vetoed the major initiatives proposed by the other, highlighting their ideological differences and political antagonism . At the arrival of the new (and proclaimed as the last) viceroy, Lord Mountbatten of Burma in early 1947, Congress leaders expressed the view that the coalition was unworkable . That led to the eventual proposal, and acceptance of the partition of India . The rejection of cabinet mission plan led to a resurgence of confrontational politics beginning with the Muslim League's Direct action day and the subsequent killings in Noakhali and Bihar . The portioning of responsibility of the League, the Congress and the British Colonial Administration for the breakdown continues to be a topic of fierce disagreement . </P>
