Question

why did the poor peasants and industrial workers kept themselves away from the congress

Answer 1

the Congress supported rich peasants and rich Industrialists.

in the case of poor peasants , they demanded rent refusal from the rich peasents on whom's land they worked but the Congress did not support their no rent campaign as it did not wanted to strain its relationships with the rich peasants.

in the case of industrial workers the Congress supported the rich business class as the Congress was financially supported by them in the civil disobedience movement. due to this reason the Congress was closer to & supported industrialists. hence the working class did not take part in the civil disobedience movement nor they supported the Congress
