The Janata Dal (S) [JD(S)] in Kerala appeared to edge closer to a split that might be politically consequential in some measure for the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government.
JD(S) national vice-president C.K. Nanu appeared riled that the party’s State president Mathew T. Thomas, MLA, had urged a boycott of the national executive that was convened in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday.
Mr. Nanu said the national executive had resolved to call a national council meeting of the party in Bengaluru on December 9 to preserve the party’s unity and chart a future course of action.
