Kottayam: Power minister M.M. Mani has refused to resign following the verdict of the additional district and sessions court at Thodupuzha rejecting his discharge petition in the Ancherry Baby murder case. “Am I going to resign when the Opposition says so. It is the LDF which made me a minister. There is a political conspiracy behind the case which was initiated by Ramesh Chennithala and Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan,” he told reporters here.
“It is a court at Thodupuzha which has issued the verdict now. There are other courts. I will face the case politically and legally. I have deputed an advocate at my own expense. Let us wait and see where this will end,” he said. CPM Idukki district secretary K.K. Jayachandran said that the verdict was unexpected and added that they will approach the HC against it.
