THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In the wake of his son Binoy Kodiyeri facing sexual harassment charges and possible arrest, CPM State Secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan went to meet Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan Saturday morning.

According sources, Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has expressed his willingness to step down as the State secretary. The decisive meeting has happened when the State secretariat is about to meet to discuss the poll debacle and the crisis being faced by the party in the current circumstances.

Though Kodiyeri has reportedly told the chief minister that he would keep away from the party post for some time, it is not known whether the party will accept his request.

Kodiyeri is on the defensive as allegations against his sons are coming out one by one. He is likely to explain in the party secretariat meeting what transpired between him and the chief minister.
