Party State secretariat to meet on Friday
Kozhikode: In a bid to get out of its political wilderness, the Loktantrik Janata Dal (LJD) has staked a claim in the Cabinet berth in the second Pinarayi Vijayan Ministry.
The development comes in the wake of the decision of the CPI (M) State secretariat not to offer ministership to its junior partners with single legislators. The LJD, which contested three sitting seats of the Left Democratic Front (LDF), was able to emerge victorious only in the Koothuparamba constituency in this Assembly election.
LJD State president M.V. Shreyams Kumar and Kozhikode district president Manayath Chandran lost the Kalpetta and Vadakara seats respectively. All three of them had unsuccessfully contested from the same segments as Janata Dal (United) candidates in the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) platform. Interestingly, the Janata Dal (Secular) had won the Vadakara segment in the 2016 Assembly poll.

Seen cumulatively, the outcome of the Assembly elections in four major states has a common message: regional parties with tested antecedents are back in favour. Secondly, the farther the people are removed from the Centre, they are more likely to treat the promises doled out by the domineering duo of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with disdain and to more likely to treat them nothing more than a lot of hot air, totally bereft of even an iota of life-giving oxygen so much in demand across the BJP’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’.
