The Communists started a labour organization under the name Tholilali and through that they tried to unite all classes of labour into an immense organization.

He wanted a few communists to organize until the organization became complete. They were expected to run the organization within the limits of legality Tholilali. Till the whole labours is effectively organized this organized was to pay its attention mainly to the economic problem of the workers, their education, their health and other immediate requirements, arranged strikes of small groups and called upon several strikes, etc. The communist activities were to begin among them while the slogery of socialism was maintained. The Communists in Tamil Nadu gave importance not only to the labourers but, also to the peasants and tried to organize them. Singaravelu was the first Communist leader to think in terms of organizing and uniting both the labourers and the kisans farmers of Tamil Nadu. He considered the peasants as the ally of the working class. His efforts in this direction were unique and pioneering in Tamil Nadu. The kisans had, all through the years, tried to exhibit a tendency to organize them to fight for their social upliftment. The first organized effort on the part of the peasants was attempted by the communists and the Socialists and a definite platform was created by them to ventilate their grievances. Efforts were started by the communists to mobilize the kisans. Singaravelu brought the labourers and the kisans under a single party. The work started by Singaravelu was strengthened by Amir Hyder Khan’s concrete programme to organize the kisans. To this member of eminent leaders like Kandasamy, Annaji, M. V. Sundaram, Jambunath Kaushik and others contributed a lot.
