During the freedom struggle, who was the only President of Indian National Congress who resigned from the presidency even after being elected?

Options:

Nellie Sengupta

JB Kripalini

Jawaharlal Nehru

Subhash Chandra Bose

Correct Answer:

Subhash Chandra Bose

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4- Subhash Chandra Bose

Subhas Chandra Bose was the only President of the Indian National Congress who resigned from the presidency even after being elected.
He was elected President in 1938, but he resigned in 1939 due to disagreements with Mahatma Gandhi and the Congress High Command.

Bose's main disagreement with Gandhi was over the method of achieving independence. Gandhi believed in non-violent resistance, while Bose believed in armed struggle. Bose also wanted a more radical economic program for the Congress, while Gandhi was more conservative.

After his resignation from the Congress, Bose formed his own party, the Forward Bloc. He also left India and traveled to Europe and Southeast Asia in search of support for his cause. He eventually formed the Indian National Army (INA), which fought alongside the Japanese against the British during World War II.

Bose was a controversial figure, but he is widely regarded as one of the greatest Indian freedom fighters. He is remembered for his courage, his determination, and his willingness to sacrifice everything for the cause of Indian independence.
