KOTTAYAM. FEB. 12. The informal meeting of the UDF laision committee which met here today failed to take a final decision on the issue of strategies to be adopted during the coming session of the Kerala Assembly and deferred the decision on the boycott of the Governor's address.

According to sources, majority of the constituents wanted a boycott of the Governor's address. However, the stand taken by the IUML was against it. Since a consensus could not be arrived at, the final decision was deferred. However, it is learnt that the UDF convener, Mr. K Sankaranarayanan, would brief the media on the issue on Tuesday in Thiruvananthapuram.

Meanwhile, the leaders said that the UDF would attend the session though the senior leaders would be engaged with the `Mochana Yatra'.
