Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 13 : Weeks after the arrest of his son, Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, the State secretary of the CPI-M, on Friday went on a leave for medical treatment purposes.
In a statement issued here by the CPI-M state secretariat that met here on Friday, it said Balakrishnan had applied for medical leave and the same has been sanctioned.
This was on the cards ever since his son Bineesh Kodiyeri was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on money laundering charges and kept in a jail in Bengaluru.
It is noteworthy that when Balakrishnan went for his medical treatment to the US in the past, he had not applied for any leave.
At the moment the charge of the secretary has been given to LDF convenor A.Vijayaraghavan.
But the grapevine is that Balakrishnan was unhappy that he failed to get the adequate support from Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
