A crucial State committee meeting of the Janadhipathya Samrakshana Samithi (JSS) here on Saturday took a decision in favour of severing the party’s ties with the United Democratic Front (UDF). The party will, however, take a final call on the issue at its special convention to be held in August.
Announcing the decision of the State committee, party State president A.N. Rajan Babu, in the presence of party founder and general secretary K.R. Gouri, said the party would be part of the UDF till August and participate in UDF meetings till then.
