In May 1921, after resigning from Indian Civil Service, Subhash Chandra Bose joined the Indian National Congress to take an active part in Indian politics. During the non – co – operation movement, he encouraged the youth of the country to take part in the movement of the Indian National Congress. He was a staunch opponent of the liberals in the Congress party.
In 1928, during the session of the Indian National Congress at Calcutta, he vehemently opposed Nehru’s resolution of the subject committee regarding provincial dominion self – rule. He was a votary of complete independence. In February 1938, Subhash Chandra Bose was elected the President of the Congress session at Haripur. Again in January 1939, he was elected the President of the Congress session at Tripura in spite of Gandhiji’s opposition.
Probably.it was the biggest defeat of Mahatma Gandhi. But majority of the Congress workers were under the influence of Mahatma Gandhi, so he resigned from the post of President in April 1939. He established Forward Bloc group in Indian National Congress in May 1939. Its purpose was to strengthen and organise the leftists in Indian National Congress.
