Kheda Satyagraha was started because, despite crop failure caused by drought, the Bombay Presidency government refused to suspend land-revenue collection; Gandhi therefore led peasants in a no-tax campaign. There was no proposal to extend Permanent Settlement to Gujarat, so statement 2 is wrong. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
