Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.
– Statement I: The Communists, who had gained influence in the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), split from it in 1929 following ideological differences and formed the Red Trade Union Congress (RTUC). While the initial split was in 1929, by 1931, they were clearly operating as a separate entity outside AITUC.
– Statement II: By the late 1920s, influenced by Comintern directives and their own analysis of the Indian situation, the Communists adopted a more independent and critical stance towards the Indian National Congress and the mainstream national movement, viewing it as bourgeois. This distancing was evident around 1928-1929.
The ideological divergence of the Communists from the Congress-led mainstream national movement (Statement II) directly led to the split within AITUC, an organization where Congress influence was also present, resulting in the Communists forming their own trade union body (Statement I). The split in AITUC was a manifestation of this broader political shift.
