Many of the leaders who fought for the lives of farmers.
Among them are C Narayanasamy Naidu is very important. Chinnamanna
Narayanaswamy Naidu, who was born on 06.02.1925 at Seengalipalayam village near
Coimbatore, lost his mother in 40 days of birth.
Narayanasamy, who was engaged in agriculture after marriage,
realized how big a fight was. In the early 1950s, the amount of electricity
delivered to agriculture was reduced from 16 hours to 4 hours due to the risks
of electricity generation and support for the industrial industry. The crops
fell unchanged. In 1957, Narayanasamy Naidu held a meeting of the farmers in
Coimbatore and met with the District Collector and Minister of Minorities,
explaining the sorrow of the farmers and recovering 16 days of electricity once
again. This was the first victory struggle by Narayanasamy Naidu.
Narayanasamy Naidu has completely deviated himself from the
success of the father and wife's death, his family's economic problems and the
integration of the farmers. In 1970, the Government of Tamil Nadu raised
electricity charges from 8 paise to 10 paise per unit. The Coimbatore Jilla
Vidya Sangai Sangham organized the protest. On May 9, 1970, farmers held a
rally in tens of thousands of bulls and tractors. The city was shocked. In June
15, it was announced that the government's offices would be staged before June
19 and will be held on June 19.
At the peak of the struggle, the government has used the
repression and the lives of three farmers. The consequences also forced the
government to do so. The power charge is reduced by 1 paise per unit. Credit
collections have been temporarily postponed. Prior to injuries, the state
government raised the electricity bill again from 9 paise to 12 paise and
ordered to pay a new fee of 01.01.1972. The farmers of Coimbatore first raised
their protest against this. In March 1972, farmers demanded to meet the 12
demands of the state. 15.04. By 1972, these demands were passed on to fulfill
these demands.
On May 9, the picket struggle began. Farmers who fought and
arrested were imprisoned. Urban people stopped daily consuming vegetables and
milk to farmers from 02.06.1972 to 04.06.1972. The purpose is to make a
shortfall and to force the government to do so.
Coimbatore farmers staged a new cartoon on 07.06.1972. Tens
of thousands of bulls left from all parts of the district were halted before
the roads of Coimbatore and in the Sundance and Central Prison. The city of
Coimbatore stopped. World newspapers, including The New York Times, released
from the United States praised them for their "cow carts pattan tanks of
Indian farmers". Narayanasamy Naidu and Dr. Sivasamy are among the many
leaders who are responsible for this.
The government felt the boom of the struggle. Narayanasamy
Naidu was in talks with the government from July 13 to 16, 1972. The agreement
was signed on July 19. A temporary tariff hike has been solved. 1 paise per unit
was cut. All farmers in jail were freed.
This victory raised Narayanasamy Naidu as the peasant leader
of Tamil Nadu. He is known for his speech, leadership character, argumentative
skills, building strategies, integrating farmers and empowering them against
the government. He toured the whole of Tamil Nadu with his approval and
organized farmers' conferences. Beyond caste and religious devotion, the Tamil
Nadu farmers started using the newly formed Tamilnadu farmers' association in
the same way as 13.11.1973. Narayanasamy Naidu was unanimously elected as its
chairman.
In 1982, the government launched a hunt for the farmers.
Opposition farmers were attacked by the police throughout Tamil Nadu. Millions
of farmers were arrested and imprisoned. False cases were filed. Most of the
voters in Tamil Nadu are farmers. So, the mindset of the whole peasantry was a
feeling of a coup. On 20th May, 1982, agrarian leaders met and discussed. 7.7
on the basis of the debate. In 1982 the Party of Indian Farmers and Labor Party
was formed. The party suffered a major defeat in the large-scale parliamentary
elections in September 1982 and the legislative elections in 1984. Farmers who
struggled to wipe out their grief were defeated by their caste, religion and
politics and defeated their party.
Narayanasamy Naidu, who created such a huge cataclysm of
farmers, spoke at a public meeting in Kovilpatti and died on 21.12.1984 with a
heart attack. But the demands for the progress of the peasants he put forward
remained unnoticed. In 1989, the electricity bills for farmers were completely
canceled and free. Farmers' loans were canceled. Since then farmers have been
receiving free electricity for their irrigation, the most important reason is
Narayanasamy Naidu.
To honour the memory of Narayanasamy Naidu, a memorial was
built at Vaiyampalayam in Coimbatore District in 2017.
