Kumarappa had been pressing.for Rural Development committee of the congress. Spoke to Kripalani who promised to call a meeting of the provincial congressPresident & Sacretaries Refers Shri Pattani of Bhavnagar. The provincial government seemed to be concerned with vote cating programmes and schemes rather than real constructive work. We should attach more improtance to basic deucations.
