The United Democratic Front (UDF) will meet in the capital on Monday to discuss issues in the ruling front after the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) questioned the holding of zonal roadshows without solving the problems within the Congress party.
Confirming the meeting, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said on Sunday that the IUML leaders had talked to him over telephone.
Earlier in the day, an emergency meeting of the IUML’s high-level committee, held at Panakkad near Malappuram, had raised the demand that the UDF constituents meet within a day or two.
