Detailed Solution

The above statement is true. Congress was unwilling to support the poor peasantry during the Civil Disobedience Movement.
The less wealthy peasantry had interests beyond simply reducing the demand for money. Many were small farmers who had difficulty paying their rent as the Depression persisted and their cash incomes decreased. They desired the landlord to remit the outstanding rent. They joined several radical movements, many of which were led by Socialists and Communists. The Congress was reluctant to endorse "no rent" campaigns in most places because they feared bringing up concerns that would enrage wealthy peasants and landlords.
