Question

Select the option that shows the correct relationship between Statements (I) and (II).

(I) Subhas Chandra Bose resigned from the Presidentship of the Congress in 1939.

(II) He laid the foundation of a new party called the Forward Bloc to bring the entire left wing under his party.

Options

• (II) contradicts (I).

• (I) is the reason for (II).

• (I) is true, but (II) is false.

• (I) and (II) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(I) is the reason for (II).

Explanation:

Both statements are true. Subhas Chandra Bose resigned from the Congress presidentship in 1939 after differences with the Congress high command, and soon after (in 1939), he founded the Forward Bloc to consolidate the left/socialist elements and carry forward a more radical programme, i.e., his resignation led to the formation of the Forward Bloc.
