CK Janu, leader of the Janathipathya Rashtriya Sabha, has decided to rejoin the United Democratic Front (UDF). She has written to the front seeking permission to return, and senior leaders K Muraleedharan and Ramesh Chennithala have reportedly endorsed her move.

However, both leaders had earlier advised the UDF leadership to exercise caution before taking a final call. They reminded that Janu’s party had previously been part of the UDF but later quit to align with the BJP, arguing that reinstating a party that once deserted the alliance without valid justification might set a wrong precedent.

Janu is expected to officially re-enter the UDF fold ahead of the upcoming local body elections.
