Formation of the Forward Bloc (1939)

Statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct. Following his re-election at the Tripuri session, Subhas Chandra Bose faced structural opposition from the Congress Working Committee and failed to gain the institutional backing of Mahatma Gandhi (1). While Bose intended to unify left-wing factions under a radical front, the broader Congress Left remained divided (2). Key socialist figures like Jayaprakash Narayan and the faction led by M.N. Roy prioritized maintaining institutional Congress unity over supporting Bose's breakaway strategies (4). Statement 3 is incorrect because the Communist CPI faction initially backed Bose against the right-wing leadership before re-aligning behind unity resolutions.
