After Gandhi suspended the Non-Cooperation Movement in 1922, a section of the Congress known as “Pro-Changers” felt that the movement should move into the legislative halls. C.R. Das (as President) and Motilal Nehru (as Secretary) launched the Swaraj Party at Anand Bhawan, Allahabad. Their strategy was to enter the councils to “wreck the constitution from within.” This created a temporary split in the Congress between the Swarajists and the “No-Changers” (like Sardar Patel), but eventually, they worked together, with the Swarajists acting as the political wing of the nationalist movement in the mid-1920s.
