Explanation
The Second Round Table Conference began on 7 September 1931, in which Mahatma Gandhi participated as the sole representative of the Congress. Due to disputes over the communal issue, the conference could not reach any decisive conclusion. Dalit leader B. R. Ambedkar demanded separate electorates for Dalits, which Gandhi rejected. Ultimately, due to the deadlock over communal representation, the conference was declared closed on 1 December 1931.
