At the end of November 1920, the first general elections were held to the Madras Legislative Assembly as per the Montford Reforms.[7] The Indian National Congress, a part of its policy during the Non-Cooperation Movement boycotted the elections.[7] As a result, the Justice Party swept to power winning 63 of the 98 Assembly seats to which elections were conducted.[7] Among the nominated members, it had a strength of 18 adding up to a total of 81 members in a chamber of 127.[7]
Following the success of the Justice Party in the 1920 elections, Lord Willingdon invited Sir Theagaroya Chetty to form the Government.[8] However, he passed on the mantle to Subbarayalu Reddiar.[9] Subbarayalu Reddiar assumed office as Chief Minister on 17 December 1920 and held the portfolios of education, public works, excise and registration in the new government.[9] The first session of the assembly was inaugurated by Duke of Connaught on 13 January 1921.[10] On 14 February 1921, three new Council Secretaries were appointed by the Justice party Government. However, Subbarayalu Reddiar resigned soon afterwards on grounds of health.[9]
