Explanation:

Gandhiji was convinced that he was out of tune with powerful trends in the Congress. He felt that a large section of the intelligentsia favoured parliamentary politics with which he was in fundamental disagreement. Another section of the intelligentsia felt estranged from the Congress because of his emphasis on the spinning wheel as ‘the second lung of the nation,’ on Harijan work based on a moral and religious approach, and on other items of the constructive programme. Similarly, the socialist group, whose leader was Jawaharlal, was growing in influence and importance but he had fundamental differences with it. Yet the Socialists felt constrained by the weight of his personality. He said, “for me to dominate the Congress in spite of these fundamental differences is almost a species of violence which I must refrain from.” Hence, in October 1934, he announced his resignation from the Congress.
