Explanation

Mahatma Gandhi suggested the winding up of the Indian National Congress after independence because he believed its primary objective, the attainment of freedom, had been achieved. He proposed that the Congress should transform itself into a Lok Sevak Sangh, a non political organization dedicated to social service, rural upliftment, and the moral development of the country. Gandhi felt that political power could lead to corruption within the party and that its members should instead focus on constructive work at the grassroots level.
