Subhas as a Swarajists

Subhas Bose was released from his first prison life in August 1922 and involved in work on both fronts. 1. as a youth leader; 2. as a social activist;
He stressed on the important topics - spread of mass education, unity amongst different commnities, removal of untouchability , prevention of early marriages, abolition of dowry, social service, discipline, upholding truth and justice everywhere.
News of serious flooding in Bogra, Rajshahi, Pabna, Dinajpur, and Rangpurreached calcutta on September 28, 1922. Subhas was sent by the Bengal Provincial Congress Committee to tour the area. He made Santapur his center and shortly afterwards Sir P.C.Ray formd the Bengal Relief Committee with Subhas in charge of distributing the aid.
Next Subhas took the charges of some news paper of C.R.Das, such as , Forward, Banglar Katha, Atma sakti Bijali etc.
For more than a year after end of non-cooperation , the plains of political actions were divided in three factions. 1. Swarajists, who believe in the path of fighting with  british rulers within the legislatures, 2. Gandhites who do not want to participate in the legislature, 3. those who believed previously, the path of revolution again tried to unfold their swords.   an editorial in Banglar Katha on 26 th january 1923 stated ;
"Non-Cooperation has lost its terror , Inertness has taken the place of courage in people's hearts.The clarion call of the Mahatma is heard no more, and the workers have become worn out with the struggle .....swaraj will neither fall from heaven nor will it come from beyond the seas as a reward from pleasing Parliament. It will have to be forced from the  British Government, the requisites being self - reliance and - confidence."
The month after his release ,  Subhas served as the Chairman of the Reception Committee of the All Bengal Youngmen's Conference, with Dr. Meghnad Saha , the famous Scientist, as the President.    
Swarajya Party under the leadership of Deshabandhu occupied Calcutta Corporation in 1924. Swarajya Party won 32 seats nominated by Dshabandhu as Councillor.
The serious struggle within the Congress began at the end of the Congress' Gaya session held  in Dec 1922, of which Das served ,  for the second -successive year, as president. He delivered a lengthy and powerful address to the Congress putting forward  his case for non-cooperation from within the councils as well as the continuation of other Swadeshi activities more in line with Gandhi's Program. On the last session of the Congress a vote was held on the council entry proposal which won by Gandhians by 1,748 to  890. Both C.R.Das and Motilal resigned from Congress, as president and general secretary.
Over the next years C.R.Das and his Party were able to mount an effective challenge .  
Deshabandhu Chittaranjan became the first Mayor of Calcutta Corporation. and Subhas Chandra Bose at the age 27 was appointed as chief Executive on 14th April 1924 with Rs.3000/- as his basic salary. But he accepted only 50% of his salary.
Being appointed as a chief executive he established Free Primary Schools and arranged free distribution of medicine in Calcutta.
Subhas Chandra was arrested under DI rule on 25th October,1924. This was the 2nd  and the toughest prison in his life. Hemendra Nath Dasgupta wrote;
" Thus the people of Calcutta would  have been transferred  from a proud rich class of people to one of sacrificing and benevolent person and would live with milk and fish instead of adulterated oil and ghee to suffer from Dyspepsia.But Subhas Chandra fell under the hands of the British authority".
Man proposes and God disposes.
The whole country became upset at the arrest of Subhas Chandra. Deshabandhu Cittaranjan in a meeting of the Calcutta Corporation held on 29th Oct 1924 strongly protested at the action  of British Govt.and said;
" If love of Country is crime, I am a Criminal . If Mr. Subhas Chandra Bose is a criminal, - I am a Criminal , not only the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, but the Mayor of this Corporation is equally guilty All that I say is that Subhas Chandra Bose is no more a Revolutionary than I am.   Why have not they arrested me. . ." - The Calcutta Municipal Gazette , Vol XLII. No.16, P-442.
Subhas Chandra arranged for publication of Municipal gazette of Calcutta Corporation but . The fitrst edition was published on 15th Nov 1924 when he was in Jail.
For the first six weeks after arresting him Subhas Chandra was kept in Alipore Central Jail for a few days and then transferred to Berhampore  Jail. From Berhampore Jail he was shifted to Mandalay in Burmah.
When he was in Alipore jail papers of Calcutta Corporation was sent to him for signature. Corporation granted him leave  with full pay but Govt. stopped it after some time.
