ACHARYA ATRE ENTERED THE CONGRESS. BUT, DUE TO SOME REASONS, HE COULD NOT GET ALONG WITH THE CONGRESS WHICH MADE HIM LEAVE THE PARTY. HIS PEN ALWAYS WROTE CRITICALLY AND POINTEDLY AGAINST CONGRESS, AND ESPECIALLY YASHWANTRAO CHAVHAN AND PANDIT NEHRU. HIS BOOK 'CONGRESS VIRUDHHA MAHARASHTRA' GIVES US A FAIR IDEA OF HIS ANTI-CONGRESS THINKING. HE HAS VERY BLUNTLY CRITICIZED YASHWANTRAO'S DEVOTION TO NEHRU AND NEHRU'S HATRED TOWARDS MAHARASHTRA. ATRE PIN-POINTEDLY WRITES ABOUT MANY IMPORTANT TOPICS LIKE YASHWANTRAO CHAVHAN'S ROLE AGAINST SAMYUKT MAHARASHTRA MOVEMENT, HIS RESIGNATION DURING EMERGENCY, INDIRA GANDHI'S CRITICISM IN AN ANSWER, YASHWANTRAO'S DARKENED IMAGE AS A RESULT, NEHRU'S OPPOSITION TO DIVISION BASED ON LANGUAGE DIFFERENCE, ETC. ATRE'S CLEAR WRITING REVEALS HIS TRANSPARENT AND BOLD NATURE.
