Explanation:
In October 1929, Viceroy Lord Irwin, announced an offer of 'dominion status' for India. It was a vague statement which proposed to grant a dominion status in an unspecified future. It proposed to hold a round table conference to discuss a future constitution. These provisions did not satisfy the Congress leaders. At this time Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhash Chandra Bose were the radical leaders who became more assertive. The liberals and moderates gradually lost their influence as they were proposing a constitutional system within the British dominion.
