RJD sticks with LDF in Kerala despite local body election setbacks
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has decided to remain within the Left Democratic Front (LDF) for the upcoming Assembly elections, despite a rebellion from several district units who sought to switch to the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF). The decision was reached after a tense State committee meeting in Kozhikode where senior leaders successfully quelled the dissent and prevented any potential defections. The RJD's state president, M.V. Sreyams Kumar, offered his resignation as part of the agreement to maintain the current alliance.
