Explanation:

In the 1920s, Jawaharlal Nehru was increasingly influenced by socialism, and he returned from Europe  in 1928 deeply impressed with the Soviet Union. As he began working closely with the socialists  (Jayaprakash Narayan, Narendra Dev, N.G. Ranga and others), a rift developed between the socialists  and the conservatives within the Congress. After becoming the Congress President in 1936, Nehru  spoke passionately against fascism, and upheld the demands of workers and peasants. Worried by  Nehru’s socialist rhetoric, the conservatives, led by Rajendra Prasad and Sardar Patel, threatened to  resign from the Working Committee, and some prominent industrialists in Bombay issued a statement  attacking Nehru.
