The meeting of UPA coordination committee will be held on Thursday to endorse government's new economic reforms decisions. The supreme policy making body of congress party has already endorsed the decisions taken by the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The meeting headed by Congress President Sonia Gandhi is expected to make an attempt to formulate a coordinated response of the ruling alliance to the challenging economic issues before the country. It also comes against the backdrop of the political developments in Maharashtra within the ruling Congress-NCP coalition in the state.

The committee was constituted last month to ensure cohesive functioning of UPA after Congress ally NCP had raised the issue of lack of coordination in the ruling alliance. It has met twice so far.

AIR correspondent reports that this is the first meeting of the committee after Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress pulled out of UPA last week.

TMC, the second largest constituent of the UPA with 19 MPs, withdrew support to the government protesting its decisions on FDI in multi-brand retail, diesel price hike and cap on subsidized domestic LPG cylinders. Another UPA constituent DMK also organized a bandh against the government measures on September 20, when the Opposition organized a nation-wide agitation on these issues.
