Answer

SVDS formed in different states by the parties having identical ideologies

Explanation

Solution

The correct answer is (D): SVDS formed in different states by the parties having identical ideologies does not directly relate to the saying about taking a train from Delhi to Howrah and not passing through a single Congress-ruled state. The saying specifically emphasizes the decline of Congress rule during the 1967 elections, while option (D) refers to the formation of SVDS (Samyukta Vidhayak Dal Sangathan) in different states by parties with similar ideologies.
