The Kerala unit of the Janata Dal (S) [JD(S)] is weighing options on forming a new party after the results of the Lok Sabha polls.
A meeting of State leaders held in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday while taking stock of the recently held general elections in the State deliberated on the situation of the party at the national-level.
The Kerala unit had severed ties with the national party subsequent to the JD(S)‘s alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) last year. At present, the party is grappling with a political turmoil in Karnataka, precipitated by a scandal involving the grandson of its national president H.D. Deve Gowda.
