He was born into the [[Leva Patel|Leva Patidar]] caste. His father, Vithalbhai Patel was a policeman and a follower of the [[Arya Samaj]]. In 1907, he and his brother Kunverji attended the [[Indian National Congress]] session at Surat. In the ensuing [[Surat Split]], the brothers sided with [[Bal Gangadhar Tilak]] and rescued him on their shoulders. In 1918, [[Mahatma Gandhi]] tasked Kalyanji and Kunverji with enquiring into crop prices for the [[Kheda Satyagraha of 1918]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Mehta |first=Shirin M. |date=1978 |title=The Bardoli Satyagraha of 1928: A Note on Organizations |journal=Proceedings of the Indian History Congress |volume=39 |issue=2 |pages=598, 603}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Mehta |first=Shirin |date=1985 |title=Social Basis of Peasant Consciousness in Gujarat |journal=Proceedings of the Indian History Congress |volume=46 |pages=550, 551}}</ref><br />
