Gandhi ji organise this movement to support peasants of kheda district.The peasants of kheda could not be able to pay high taxes of british due to crop failure and plague epidemic. Patel was a close ally of Gandhi in this satyagraha. Patel and his colleagues organised a major tax revolt, and all the different ethnic and caste communities of Kheda rallied around it. The peasants of Kheda signed a petition calling for the tax for this year to be scrapped in wake of the famine. The government in Bombay rejected the charter.
