On the occasion of the birth anniversary of Subhash Chandra Bose, many stories related to his personality are remembered. His personality still infuses new energy in the youth. The echo of his slogan ‘You give me blood, I will give you freedom’ still has the ability to speed up the circulation of blood in the veins. In such a situation, that incident also comes to mind when Subhash Chandra Bose resigned from the post of Congress President.

Subhash Chandra Bod was not the choice of Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi wanted that the post of Congress President should be given to that person who can maintain the communal atmosphere in the country better. They wanted that a Muslim should become the president of the Congress. This is the reason that his first choice was Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. But Maulana Abul Kalam Azad did not want to contest against Subhash Chandra Bose. The reason was that the popularity of Subhash Chandra Bose was very high at that time, so he refused to contest the election.

) The ideology of Mahatma Gandhi and Subhash Chandra Bose was different. Subhash Chandra Bose was a supporter of radical ideology. While during the 4354 era, the Congress had taken a soft stand. Mahatma Gandhi was a non-violenceist. This was the reason that when Maulana refused to contest the election, Mahatma Gandhi wanted to make Jawaharlal Nehru the president, but finally Pattabhi Sitaramaiya claimed the post of president. ,Netaji resigned after winning the election

Voting took place for the post of Congress President and finally Subhash Chandra Bose won, but he did not get Mahatma Gandhi’s vote in the voting. Even before the election, an appeal was made to Subhash Chandra Bose to withdraw his name from the election, but he did not do so. After the election result, when Gandhiji said that Pattabhi’s defeat is my defeat, bitterness increased on both sides and finally Subhash Chandra Bose resigned from the post of party president in April after the Tripura session. The election for the post of president was held in the month of January. The reason behind Netaji’s resignation is said to be his ideological opposition with Mahatma Gandhi. Because of this, both of them had come face to face many times. From here Subhash Chandra Bose took a different path and then he did not return to Congress.
