PC George charges KM Mani and his son Jose K Mani with corruption charges in letter to CM Chandy

KOCHI: A day after he was removed from the post of chief whip, PC George has sent a letter to Kerala chief minister Oommen Chandy raising serious charges of corruption against finance minister KM Mani and his son Jose K Mani.Speaking to reporters, Chandy said that he was "shocked" by the details of the letter. He said that he called George after reading the letter.

After his pressure tactics within the ruling front led to the removal of PC George from the post of chief whip, Kerala Congress (M) chairman KM Mani said that his party will not expel anyone.

"We will not expel anyone. We believe in corrective action," KM Mani said. Mani said George will not be expelled how much ever he may provoke him.

After his removal from the post on Tuesday night, PC George has been speaking out against the KC (M) leadership. PC George had earlier said that he wanted Mani to expel him as it would help him to continue in UDF under the banner of a new party.

His letter to the CM contains the details of the wealth accumulated by Mani.

The ten-page letter raises allegations of corruption against Member of Parliament Jose K Mani, the son of Mani. Meanwhile, discussions have started within the KC (M) to select a new chief whip.

The Kerala Congress (M) leadership suffered yet another blow on Tuesday as Saritha Nair, one of the perpetrators of the solar scam, named Jose K Mani in her letter as one of the leaders who exploited her sexually.

Saritha later said the letter leaked out to the press was not written by her. Holding another letter in her hand, she told the press that the original was with her and she will not disclose the details.
