⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

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.
