Rajagopalachari on April 30, 1930. The event was organised to mark the 96th anniversary of the Salt Satyagraha when Rajaji took out a march from Tiruchi to Agasthiyamapalli near Vedaranyam to break the salt law imposed by the British that stifled salt collection and trade by Indians to benefit the colonial rulers.
