Please mark as brainliest answer

Explanation:

Congress was reluctant to include demands of industrial workers:

1. Congress did not want to disappoint the industrialists by including the worker's interest.

2. Some workers participated in the movement and boycotted foreign goods as part of their protest against low wages and poor working conditions.

3. But most workers kept away as Congress favoured industrialists and believed that anti-imperial forces can get divided.

Explanation: The interests of the industrialists and the workers couldn’t go hand in hand so the Congress decided to favour the industrialists.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Congress was reluctant to include the demands of industrial workers in its

programme of struggle because:

• (i) The industrial working classes did not participate in the Civil Disobedience Movement in large numbers, except in the Nagpur region.
• (ii) As the industrialists came closer to the Congress, workers stayed aloof.
• (iii) The Congress felt that by including workers’ demands as part of its programme of struggle it would alienate industrialists and divide the anti-imperial forces.
