Answer

(A) and (R) are independent of each other.

Explanation — Subhas Chandra Bose won the election of the President of the Congress for a second term by a majority of votes defeating his opponent Pattabhi Sitaramayya who was supported by Gandhiji. Gandhiji declared that it was his own defeat. This created a deadlock between Bose and Gandhiji. The Gandhi wing began to oppose the President and made it impossible for him to function. This was the reason why Bose resigned from the Presidentship of the Congress in 1939.
After resigning, he laid the foundation of the Forward Bloc to bring the entire left wing under his party.
