This evidence-based method makes 1934 the most accurate answer and avoids guessing from general familiarity. The Indian National Congress session of 1934 was held in Patna (Haripura was 1938 — different session). The Patna INC session of 1934 was presided over by Rajendra Prasad. Subhas Chandra Bose was elected President of the Indian National Congress at the Haripura session in 1938 and was re-elected at the Tripuri session in 1939, where he defeated Gandhi's candidate Pattabhi Sitaramayya. The question as framed links Patna with a notable INC session. The 1934 Patna session was significant as it came during a crucial phase of the independence movement after the Civil Disobedience Movement was suspended.
