Amid talks of merger with its parent socialist entity the Janata Dal (Secular), the Loktantrik Janata Dal (LJD) has postponed its State committee meeting, which was scheduled to be held in Kozhikode on Tuesday, to June 2.
LJD leaders said the crucial meeting to take a final call on the party’s merger with the JD(S) was put off in the wake of the Thrikkakara Assembly bypoll slated for May 31. Most of the State and district leaders were campaigning in the keenly watched first byelection in the second Pinarayi Vijayan Ministry.
Besides, the leaders said the party was also engaged with making arrangements for observing the second death anniversary of LJD leader M.P. Veerendrakumar on May 28. Writer M.T. Vasudevan Nair will inaugurate the commemorative event in Kozhikode.
