The party's state committee would meet on July 20 to finalise its future strategy, Veerendrakumar said after the meeting, which came days after JD(S) dissolved the state unit headed by him.

He said the state unit had in the last Lok Sabha polls, decided to "react politically" to the CPM's "betrayal" by denying JD-S the Kozhikode seat, held by it for a long time.

Under the changed circumstances, the party asked all district units to come out with their opinion on the next course of action, he said.

Of the 180 council members, 152 participated in the meeting, including three MLAs loyal to the faction. However, two MLAs of the Gowda group kept away from the meeting.
