The struggle for responsible government in Thiruvitamkur assumed a new turn with
the formation of the Travancore state Congress.It was felt that the Joint Political Congress
had fulfilled its objectives and a more broad based organization embracing all classes of
people should be formed to carry forward the struggle for responsible government.The
Haripura Session (1938) of the Congress endorsed the view that though congress should
abstain from active intervention in the political movements in the princely states,
independent organisations may be encouraged to carry on internal struggles. In accordance
with this resolve, a meeting held in Thiruvanantapuram in February, 1938 resolved to form
the Travancore State Congress with Pattam Thanu Pillai as its president.The new
organisation aimed at launching a movement for the achievement of responsible
government in Thiruvitamkur.
