The leader of the Bardoli Satyagraha (1928) was

The Bardoli Satyagraha of 1928 was led by Vallabhbhai (Sardar) Patel, who organised the peasant movement in Bardoli against an enhanced land-revenue assessment and secured a successful outcome under his leadership [1]. To mobilise and sustain the campaign, Patel established workers’ camps and a movement journal, and the struggle drew wide public sympathy; Gandhi later came to Bardoli to stand by in case of emergency, but the local leadership and day-to-day direction were Patel’s responsibility [2]. Contemporary accounts and databases note that Patel was specifically invited to head the campaign while Gandhi offered support rather than direct leadership, underscoring Patel’s central role in Bardoli [3].
