One of way by which u can achieve this one is to make separate Html.BeginForm
for each hyperlink.

i.e.

@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "submitForm" }))
{
New
}

@using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "submitForm" }))
{
Edit
}

@using (Html.BeginForm("Delete", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "submitForm" }))
{
Delete
}

I want to keep only one Html.Beginform . And on click of anchor tag change value of action i.e. create, edit and delete

Hey PrachiMhatre, referring to your code, write a onclick event to each anchor tag. In onclick event prevent default behaviour and then using form id set the action.
