when did the moderates and the radicals of the congress reunited
Surat Split
Moderates believed in the policy of settlement of minor issues with the government by deliberations . But the extremists believed in agitation , strikes and boycotts to force their demands . Some nationalists led by Lokmanya Tilak agitated against the moderate behaviour of congress against British rule . The split between these two sections became outward at the end of Banaras Session of congress ( 1905 ) . Lokmanya Tilak and his followers held a separate conference and declared the formation of the Extremist Party . However they decided to work as a part of the Indian National Congress . Difference between moderates and extremists further widened in Calcutta Session of congress ( 1906 ) and there were attempts between them to elect one of them as the president of congress . The moderates opposed the resolutions on Swaraj , Swadeshi , Boycott of foreign goods and National Education and requested to withdraw from the policy laid down in the Calcutta session . But the extremists were not ready to do so .
