They invented innumerable excuse to evict tenants from the land. Deprived tenant's resentment articulated into a recurrent demand for the restoration of ryoti rights in the bakasht lands to tenants who had lost them in the hands of the zamindars. The bakasht movement spread all over Bihar. Kisan Sabha actively organized and motivated the presents in bakasht movement.
