LDF argument on Mani a lame one: Satheesan

Oppn. leader says Jose K. Mani should not forget Left charges against his family
Leader of Opposition V. D. Satheesan on Wednesday described CPI(M) acting State secretary A. Vijayaraghavan’s contention that the LDF had not targeted the late K. M. Mani personally when he was Finance Minister in the Oommen Chandy-led UDF government as rather shaky. “It is a lame argument. At the time, they accused Mr. Mani and his family of being corrupt and that he had a currency counting machine in his home. If they were not targeting him personally but the UDF in general, why did the CPI(M) and the LDF take the stand that the then Chief Minister Oommen Chandy may present the budget, but not Mr. Mani,” Mr. Satheesan asked while participating in a meet-the-press event organised by the Kerala Union of Working Journalists. Mr. Satheesan said that Jose K. Mani, the Kerala Congress (M) leader and son of Mr. Mani who had shifted allegiance to the LDF, should not forget the previous stand taken by the Left against his father.More Related News
