The INC changed its goal from Swaraj to Purna Swaraj because of the following reasons:
- The attitude of the British government compelled the national leaders to adopt the the goal of complete independence. Continued economic exploitation of the Indians by the British angered the leaders.
- Discontentment over Simon Commission which did not include any of the Indian member.
- Brutal oppression a by the British of the demonstrators and death of Lala Lajpat rai angered the nationalist leaders.
- Vague offer of Dominion status did not satisfy the Indian leaders.
- Thus, the pledge of Purna Swaraj was taken at the Lahore session 1929.
