New Delhi, July 03: As the CPI(M) Polit Bureau is meeting here to discuss party affairs in Kerala, state Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan on Friday said party and people will decide whether he should continue in the post.

He also said the CPI(M) will discuss the issue in the party unit and find a solution to it.

"Let party and people decide whether I should continue," Achuthanandan told reporters here when asked whether he will continue as the Chief Minister. He arrived in the capital today to attend the Polit Bureau meeting.

He said like any other party, the CPI(M) will discuss the issue in the party unit and resolve it. "This is the norm in any party. If there is an issue, they will discuss and find a solution," he said.

The CPI(M) Polit Bureau is meeting here tomorrow to specifically discuss "disunity" in its Kerala unit and the open turf war between its top leaders there.

The party would hold a two-day meeting from tomorrow only to discuss the happenings in Kerala where Achuthanandan and party state Secretary Pinarayi Vijayan are on a war path.

Earlier in the day, Achuthanandan met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and requested him to convene a meeting of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi and him to resolve the Mullaperiyar dam issue.
