The poorer peasantry were not just interested in the lowering of therevenue demand. Many of them were small tenants cultivating landthey had rented from landlords. As the Depression continued andcash incomes dwindled, the small tenants found it difficult to paytheir rent. They wanted the unpaid rent to the landlord to be remitted.They joined a variety of radical movements, often led by Socialistsand Communists. Apprehensive of raising issues that might upsetthe rich peasants and landlords, the Congress was unwilling to support‘no rent’ campaigns in most places. So the relationship between thepoor peasants and the Congress remained uncertain.
