Who become the President of Indian National Congress when Subhash Chandra Bose resigned in 1939?
Explanation
logo ## Page 17 At the Haripura (Gujarat) session of the Congress in 1938, Subhas Chandra Bose became Congress President for the first time (unopposed). At the Tripuri session of 1939, he became President for the second time by defeating Pattabhi Sitaramayya, who was supported by Gandhiji; however, due to differences with Gandhiji on the issue of constituting the Working Committee, he resigned, after which Dr. Rajendra Prasad became the acting President of Congress. It should be noted that the Second World War ended (especially with reference to Japan’s surrender) in August–September 1945 (in August 1945, the United States of America dropped atomic bombs on Japan, and in September 1945 Japan signed the surrender instrument). During this period (August–September 1945), Clement Attlee was the Prime Minister of Britain, not Churchill. After the change of power in Britain in July 1945, Attlee (1945–1951) became Prime Minister in place of Churchill. In an official research note of the British Parliament (House of Lords Library), it is clearly stated that the confirmation of the end of the Second World War was made through a radio broadcast by Prime Minister Attlee.
