After successfully striking alliances and cutting deals with detractors in the Assembly polls, the CPI(M) is competently pushing for the merger of two so-called socialist parties'- Janata Dal ( Secular) and Loktantrik Janata Dal (LJD) - as well as the as amalgamation of three Kerala Congress parties - Kerala Congress (B), the Democratic Kerala Congress (DKC) and Kerala Congress (Skaria Thomas).
