[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/YUa6CsraE6bt/en/congress-formation-a-o-hume-and-gandhi-s-role?t=2) They think Gandhiji created it. No, there are people who think that.

[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/YUa6CsraE6bt/en/congress-formation-a-o-hume-and-gandhi-s-role?t=7) Or they think our Indian patriots created it.

[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/YUa6CsraE6bt/en/congress-formation-a-o-hume-and-gandhi-s-role?t=10) For the most part, both are false. After the Congress was created and grew, Gandhiji gave it a new path.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/YUa6CsraE6bt/en/congress-formation-a-o-hume-and-gandhi-s-role?t=42) Better. Surely, he would have thought elections should be conducted this way.

[0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/YUa6CsraE6bt/en/congress-formation-a-o-hume-and-gandhi-s-role?t=47) The Congress has been crushed. The Congress could not have existed.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/YUa6CsraE6bt/en/congress-formation-a-o-hume-and-gandhi-s-role?t=52) What he did was If you scare them like Devaram, no one will come to your meetings or gatherings.
