Idukki: Senior CPM leader and former minister M.M Mani has come forward with punitive remarks against P.J Joseph. He said that PJ Joseph is the plight of the people of Thodupuzha and that since he refuses to step foot in the Assembly, the voters should march to his home.

“He has come only once or twice to the Assembly. The details are recorded there. Even when the Chief Minister came to inaugurate the Spices park, the MLA was conspicuously absent. He will not relinquish his seat and is preparing his son to inherit it. The voters should be blamed. It’s a shame to vote for those who do not come to the Legislative Assembly,” M.M Mani said.
