In December 1928 at the Calcutta Session, Congress passed the Nehru report with majority and gave ultimatum to British government to accept the report before 31 December 1929 otherwise congress would launch a fast/mass movement. The time period of one year passed without any response from the government.
(All India Youth Congress was formed at Calcutta session in 1928. Jawahar Lal Nehru was the first president.)
In December 1929, Nehru report was declared cancelled at Lahore session. Gandhi made Jawahar Lal Nehru president of Congress at Lahore session to check the growing influence of "leftist" on Congress. In the chairmanship of J.L. Nehru congress declared complete independence (Poorna Swaraj). On 31st December 1929 around midnight hosted the newly adopted national flag in Lahore on the bank of river Ravi. The Congress working committee decided to celebrate 26th January 1930 as the first independence day.
At the Lahore session, congress working committee was authorized to start Civil Disobedience Movement.
Gandhi rejected the proposal of Subhash Chandra Bose of forming parallel government. Then, Subhash Chandra Bose formed a new party, Congress Democratic Party.
