Explanation
In 1938, the 51st annual session of the Congress was held at Haripura (Gujarat), not at Tripuri. Subhas Chandra Bose presided over the Haripura session. The 52nd annual session of the Congress was held at Tripuri (M.P.) in 1939, and it was also presided over by Subhas Chandra Bose. However, later he resigned from this post. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose successfully carried out the plan to escape from his house at night in disguise and leave Calcutta in January 1941. He formed the Provincial Government of India in Singapore on 21 October 1943.
