It will be remembered that in Bihar there was a prolonged controversy over the rights of Bengalee minority and as a result the Congress Working Committee at its Bardoli sitting on 13th January 1939 passed a resolution defining its general policy on this matter for the guidance of Congressmen and Congress Ministries. Unfortunately neither Bihar nor Orissa, both of which are again at present governed by Congress Ministries, have come to adopt, in entirety, the policy laid down in that resolution.
