G. Ramakrishnan was re-elected as the secretary of the Tamil Nadu State unit of the CPI(M) at the party's 21st conference in Chennai on Thursday. The conference elected an 81-member State committee and 15-member State secretariat.
Though the State secretary is normally elected in the State conference, he assumed office in 2010 since the then secretary, N, Varadarajan, wanted to relinquish his post due to health reasons.
He was again elected as the secretary in 2012 in the State conference at Nagapattinam. In the CPI(M), a State secretary is allowed to have a maximum of three terms.
The secretariat members include party MP T.K. Ranagarajan, U. Vasuki, and party MLAs K. Balakrishnan, A. Lasar and K. Thangavel.
