People who were arrested in 1942's revolution were released in 1945 one after the other. Viceroy Lord Wavel  invited all the Indian leaders and had a compromise talk. As Chief Minister Rajaji too was invited. At that time Rajaji wanted to join in Congress back. There was a strong opposition to this.

Rajaji resigned from the Congress party and its working committee when his proposal was defeated by a vast margin of votes regarding Pakistan in 1942.

Even the proposal was defeated Rajaji continued to fight for that. A notice was issued to Rajaji for taking disciplinary action.

Gandhiji in his letter of July 15th wrote to Rajaji asking him to resign from Congress and Assembly. So did Rajaji and he was against to August Revolution.

Rajaji's efforts to join in Congress and to have talk with Viceroy hurted the feelings of the patriots in the jail.

There was flash news as Rajaji was elected for Congress committee from  Thiruchengodu. No one knew when and how the election was conducted and that too without the knowledge of the president.

Opposition was strong enough to see that Rajaji should not be allowed to join in Congress . Kamaraj released a circular.
