IDUKKI: M M Mani MLA strongly criticized the Congress’s protest against the rampant wild elephant attacks. 'The wild elephants are not a creation of Pinarayi Vijayan, V D Satheesan can be assigned to catch them. The government is doing everything possible to avoid the elephant attacks. Even if Sonia Gandhi comes and rules here, she will not be able to do anything beyond this,’ said Mani.
DCC general secretary M P Jose is on an indefinite hunger strike in Pooppara against the rampant wild attacks of the elephants. The Youth Congress district president K S Arun had stated the other day that if the arrest of the wild elephants is delayed, they will go on a hunger strike in front of the DFO office in Munnar. DCC general secretary took over the hunger strike started by K S Arun against the nuisance of elephants. The Congress has decided to continue the strike until a permanent solution to it is found.
