Who led the no-tax movement of the Bardoli peasants in 1928 ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The Bardoli Satyagraha of 1928 in Surat district was a no-tax campaign against a sharp rise in land revenue; it was led by Vallabhbhai Patel, who earned the title 'Sardar' from it, and it forced the government to order an inquiry that cut the increase.

Gandhi had planned a no-tax campaign at Bardoli in 1922 but called it off after Chauri Chaura, so he did not lead the peasants' movement; Nehru and Morarji Desai did not lead it either.
