Why did congress reject the cripps plan?

Answer 1

Cripps came to India in march1942. He placed certain proposals about India before the Indians. These proposals did not satisfy any political party in India. There was no clear mention of the demand for complete independence in these proposals. Therefore, the congress rejected them.

Answer 2

Congress rejected the Cripps plan because it did not provide clear guarantees of immediate independence for India. The plan proposed a dominion status for India after the war, but it did not address various concerns of the Indian National Congress such as the role of the princely states, the safeguarding of minority rights, and the provision of a constituent assembly to draft the constitution. Additionally, the Congress felt that the plan did not offer enough power to the Indian people and did not meet their demand for complete independence.
