Isn't it more advisable to offer wholehearted support at this crucial juncture instead of reserving parts of it.A collective effort is essential and important at the moment..Otherwise ordinary masses might be somewhat suspicious about the JVP aloofness though they verbally pledge full support to the common candidate.
