Loktantrik Janata Dal (LJD) State president M.V. Shreyams Kumar has said that the proposed merger of his party with the Janata Dal(Secular) [JD(S)] in Kerala is not a closed chapter.
The newly elected Rajya Sabha member was participating at a meet-the-press programme organised by the Calicut Press Club here on Friday.
Not keen
His statement comes at a time the LJD leadership was not keen on the merger. Several rounds of talks held between representatives of the two parties had failed to break the deadlock over various issues, including the new State president.
Mr. Shreyams Kumar was on Monday elected to the Rajya Sabha to fill the vacancy caused by the death of his father and media baron M.P. Veerendrakumar in May.
