Concept:The Gaya Session of the Indian National Congress (INC) in 1922 was held after the suspension of the Non‑Cooperation Movement. A major debate arose over whether to enter legislative councils or continue boycott.
Explanation:The INC session at Gaya took place in December 1922.
Mahatma Gandhi had suspended the Non‑Cooperation Movement after the Chauri Chaura incident, causing a split in the Congress.
Chittaranjan Das (C.R. Das) was elected President of the INC at this session.
He was a prominent lawyer, freedom fighter, and later founded the Swaraj Party.
Two groups emerged: Pro‑Changers (led by Das and Motilal Nehru) wanted to contest council elections, while No‑Changers (led by Vallabhbhai Patel, Rajendra Prasad) supported complete non‑cooperation.
The session resolved to continue council boycott, leading Das to resign as President.
In 1923, Das and Nehru formed the Swaraj Party to fight British rule from within the councils.
Thus, the President of the INC at the Gaya Session (1922) was Chittaranjan Das.
