(iii) Within the Congress, some leaders were by now tired of mass struggles.
(iv) They wanted to participate in elections to the provincial councils that had been set up by the Government of India Act of 1919.
(v) They felt that it was important to oppose British policies within the councils, argue for reform and also demonstrate that these councils were not truly democratic.
