When Gandhiji toured Madras State Kamaraj was with him throughout the tour. But nothing was discussed about the Madras State Congress. But Gandhiji used the word of  " Click" . Since that hurted Kamaraj he was prepared to resign from the parliamentary board.

This was conveyed to Gandhiji. Meanwhile Pattabi Seetharamiah explained Gandhiji about the position of Congress in detail.

The parliamentary board members other than Kamaraj accepted to sponsor nominees for 1946 election. The list was sent Sardar Patel. Bakthavathsalam and Mrs. Rukmani Lakshmipathi went to Bombay. Patel invited Kamaraj too. He went to Bombay on 18th February. But till the finalisation of the list he refused to meet Patel. He met Patel only after that and returned to Madras. 

Though Rajaji included the names of his favorites he had no hopes of getting majority in the election.

There was civil commotion at Madurai against Rajaji. As could not control the situation he resigned in March 21st.
