Corruption case now
registered against, Kerala’s Finance Minister K.M. Mani is a sufficient reason for him to resign from the Cabinet. The case is registered after
an inquiry into the allegation that Mani
had accepted Rs.1 crore as bribe from the Kerala Bar Hotel Owners’ Association.
When there are leaders in Kerala Congress other than Mani it would be better
for him to abstain from the present position and come clean after the verdict,
In Kerala almost all the
politicians are corrupt and Mani is not an exception. The wealth the leaders
amassed till now is not by legitimate methods but by hook or crook. In bars
there is no governmental audit regarding
the money they collected by selling liquor. It is quite evident that in many
bars most of the liquors sold are seconds and for this there are ministerial
blessings. The bar owners pay heavily for this help. Mani, the most crafty
fellow in the Kerala cabinet saying that he has not accepted bribe is unbelievable.
If Mani is unwilling to
resign he should be removed from the post by the Chief Minister. If UDF is reluctant to keep away Mani for some
time it should become detrimental for them in the coming elections.
