- The extremists also succeeded in getting four resolutions.
- In surat session, extremists tried to push Lala Lajpat Rai for presidency and moderates pushed for Rashbehari bose.
- At last Lala Lajpat Rai stepped down from the presidency and it was presided by Rashbehari Ghosh. Hence statement 1 is correct.
- The extremists wanted to extend the Swadeshi and Boycott movement from Bengal to the rest of the country but the moderate wanted to repudiate the resolution.
- As a result, clashes took place and Indian National Congress split into two groups. Hence statement 2 is correct.
- Both the sides adopted rigid positions.
- Now the congress was dominated by the moderates who lost no time in reiterating the commitment to Self-Government, Boycott and Swadeshi issues.
