Explanation:

In Kheda, Gujarat, the peasants were frequently plagued by poverty, famines, scant resource, untouchability, alcoholism and British discrimination. The famine of Chhappania Akal and some subsequent famines had destroyed the agrarian economy of the region and the peasants were still dying out of starvation.Yet the authorities refused to grant remission of revenue.

Gandhiji thus led the movement as the spiritual leader of the peasants, with Sardar Patel.
