KOCHI: There are hints that Kodiyeri Balakrishnan will continue as the CPM state secretary. The reports obtained said young leaders’ P A Mohammad Riyas and A N Shamseer are likely to be inducted in the state secretariat. The politburo wants Kodiyeri to continue as the party secretary.

Anathalavattom Anandan, Vaikkom Viswan, C Karunakaran, Kamath, M M Mani are likely to be dropped from the state secretariat. Instead, the names of Kadakampally Surendran, C K Rajendran, P A Mohammad Riyas, A N Shamseer, Saji Cherian and V N Vasavan are heard. The picture will be clear only tomorrow.

No one has criticized the police, says Kodiyeri
The police was not criticized in the party state meet, said Kodiyeri Balakrishnan. There is no need to support the police. They don’t need anyone's support. The Left government has a police policy and that is people friendly. If there are any flaws in it, it will be corrected. No one uttered about it in the conference, he said.

Kodiyeri said no one in this party is afraid of anyone. The CPM is a party that is free to express their views fearlessly. Is there any such party like that? Any criticism can be raised within the party. There is no issue in the Left Front that needs to be addressed in public, said Kodiyeri.

The party has decided to change its style of functioning. Political discussions should take place in all committees, including sub-committees. If the upper committee takes a decision, then it should be reported to the lower committee. Their doubts should be cleared, Kodiyeri said while addressing the media.

Party strongly opposes nokkukooli
The party is against nokkukooli. The nokkukooli system cannot be encouraged in any way. CITU strongly opposes it and they have not approved it. Clear action should be taken against it, demanded Kodiyeri.

Protests will be on one side, K Rail would be made a reality
K Rail will be made a reality, reiterated Kodiyeri. Our state is changing. Four-lane road, hill road and the coastal road are all part of road development. Along with this, K Rail will also be made a reality, he said.
