The CM has invited them through letters to give their suggestions to the government on the matter, an official release said.
The meeting of leaders of legislature parties would be held in the conference hall at the Secretariat at 5 pm and two representatives on behalf of each legislature party has been invited, the release added.
Congress with 18 members is the largest after the main opposition AIADMK with 66 MLAs. Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, the CPI and CPI(M) are allies of the DMK and the PMK and BJP are partners of AIADMK. Smaller parties like the Manithaneya Makkal Katchi and Puratchi Bharatham and Thamizhaga Vazhvurimai Katchi fought on the symbol of DMK and AIADMK respectively in the April 6 Assembly polls.
Though they are officially regarded as members of DMK and AIADMK in the House, they are also expected to take part in the meeting.
