Solution
The prosposals were rejected by the Congress because:
(i) It contained provision which could divide India into hundreds of independent provinces.
(ii) There was no time limit within which the Constitution making body was to be set up.
(iii) The Congress wanted that all subjects, including defence, should be handed over to the National Government.
Gandhiji was so upset at the proposals that he named it as “the post-dated cheque.”
