E P Jayarajan, the convener of the ruling LDF in Kerala, abstained from the CPI(M) state committee meeting on Saturday, fueling rumors of a potential resignation from his position.

Jayarajan, who returned to his home in Kannur in the morning, declined to comment on his possible resignation as LDF convener when approached by reporters.
