• After the Chauri Chaura incident, the Congress Working Committee met at Bardoli in February 1922

militancy came from the ever-restive semitribal ‘Rampa’ region north of the Godavari. Hence
statement 2 is not correct.
• The Rampa rebellion represents a guerilla uprising in semitribal ‘Rampa’ region north of the
Godavari between August 1922 and May 1924 led by Alluri Sitarama Raju. Hence statement 1 is not
correct.

rebellion’ with modern nationalism.
• Sitarama Raju ‘spoke highly of Mr Gandhi’, but considered ‘that violence is necessary’. Raju also won the
grudging admiration of the British as a formidable guerilla tactician, who had armed his followers by
successful raids on police stations. Raju was captured in May 1924, was shot dead.IncorrectAnswer: D
