Key Points

• Tripuri session of Indian National Congress, 1939:
  • Subhash Chandra Bose was re-elected as the President of INC at the Tripuri Session in 1939 by defeating Gandhi Ji's Candidate Pattabhai Sitaramaiyya.
  • He demanded that Congress should deliver a six-month ultimatum to Britain and in the event of its rejection a country-wide struggle for ‘Poorna Swaraj’ should be launched.
  • His warning and advice went unheeded, his powers as President were sought to be curtailed.
  • He, therefore, resigned in April 1939, and announced, in May 1939, the formation of the Forward Bloc.​

Additional Information

• Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose:
  • In Calcutta, Bose organised mass protests and was arrested. He was later put under house arrest from where he escaped. He went to Germany via Afghanistan.
  • In 1943 Bose lost hope that Germany could be of any help in gaining India's independence. He then turned to Asia where he finally came to the helm of the Indian National Army (INA).
  • He reached Japanese-controlled Singapore from Germany in July 1943, issued from there his famous call, ‘Delhi Chalo’, and announced the formation of the Azad Hind Government and the Indian National Army on 21st October 1943.
  • Despite all his differences with Gandhiji, Bose did not forget to ask for the blessings of the ‘Father of the Nation’ while starting his enterprise.
