Pattabhi who had a BA degree in Madras Christian College, fulfilled his ambition to become a medical practitioner by securing a M.B.C.M. degree. He started his practice as a doctor in the coastal town of Machilipatnam . He left his lucrative practice to join the freedom fighting movement. He was recruited to run for the presidency of the Indian National Congress as the candidate closest to Mohandas Gandhi , against the more-radical Subhas Bose in 1939 . He lost owing to Bose's rising popularity and the belief that Pattabhi favored the inclusion of Tamil -majority districts in a future Telegu state in independent India. Serving on the Congress Working Committee when '' Quit India '' was launched in 1942 , Pattabhi was arrested with the entire committee and incarcerated for three years without outside contact in the fort in Ahmednagar , Maharashtra . During this time he maintained a detailed Diary of day-to-day life during imprisonment, which was published later as ''Feathers and Stones''. He ran successfully for Congress presidency in 1948 , winning with the support of Jawaharlal Nehru , the Prime Minister Of India . Pattabhi also served as the Governor of Madhya Pradesh . He established Andhra Bank in Machilipatnam on 28 November , 1923 . Andhra Bank is currently one of the major Commercial Bank s of India, with over 1179 branches as of September 2005 . REFERENCES
