Answer 2

Congress actively pursue the strategy of mobilizing the peasants because, during world war 2, the majority of the Indian population (about 90%) lived in villages.

Farmers were the major vote bank and Congress could never come into power without their participation.

So Congress laid its total concentration on the upliftment of farmers.
