Politics heats up in Kerala unit of Janata Dal (Secular)

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Amid standoff with its Kerala unit over joining the BJP, the national leadership of Janata Dal (Secular), an ally of the ruling CPI(M)-led Left LDF in Kerala, has issued an ultimatum to its two state legislatures asking them to attend the December 9 party meeting.

A decision to this effect was taken during a meeting of the JD(S) here in the presence of ousted party state president C. M. Ibrahim along with C.K.Nanu, the sole national vice president of the party. Party chief and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda’s recent decision to officially join the BJP-led NDA has left the Kerala unit of the party, a full fledged ally of the CPI(M)-led Left, smarting. (IANS)
