The state secretariat meet of the CPM is going to be crucial as CM Pinarayi Vijayan will discuss the possible changes to be made in the party and state cabinet.
It is expected that present state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan will be granted leave and in his place a 'caretaker' secretary will be appointed.
The CPM secretariat in its statement issued, however, refuted media reports about Kodiyeri Balakrishnan was being replaced.
Ahead of the state secretariat meeting, Pinarayi Vijayan held a meeting with the party leaders in the state party office on Thursday.
With Pinarayi Vijayan holding a complete sway over both the government and the party, it is being said that the call will be his.
