{'jawaharlal nehru': [11, 2, 14, 10], 'tripuri congress session': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'subhash bose': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'sitaramayya': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'abdul kalam azad': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'vallabhbhai patel': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'jayaprakash narayan': [2, 1, 3, 1], 'presidentship': [0, 0, 2, 0]}

During the Tripuri Congress Session in 1939, Subhash Bose contested against Sitaramayya for the presidency. Among the given options, it was Vallabhbhai Patel who withdrew his candidature from the presidentship. This decision by Patel was crucial as it paved the way for Subhash Bose`s victory in the election.

Abdul Kalam Azad, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Jayaprakash Narayan were not directly involved in the election for the presidentship during the Tripuri Congress Session. Though they were prominent leaders in the Indian National Congress, they did not withdraw their candidature in this particular instance.

It is worth noting that Bose`s victory had significant consequences for the Indian independence movement. His presidency led to the formation of a more radical subset within the Congress, which eventually broke away to form the Forward Bloc. Bose went on to play a pivotal role in the fight against British rule and the establishment of the Azad Hind Fauj during World War II.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, Vallabhbhai Patel, who withdrew his candidature from the presidentship during the Tripuri Congress Session in 1939.
