Credible sources said that central leadership was annoyed over pro-separatist line being toed by PDP and NC just to keep anti-national elements in good humour. It was only after PDP and NC announced to boycott these elections by attaching issue of Article 35-A with urban bodies polls, Centre had decided to conduct elections at any cost.
