THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Power Minister M M Mani came down heavily on congress leader K Sudhakaran for addressing Pinarayi Vijayan as a toddy tapper’s son. Sudhakaran is hysterical. A normal person will not criticize anyone in work. The chief minister’s father earned a living by doing his job and not like those jailed for theft, he said.

He criticized the UDF for drafting the Sabarimala ritual protection bill. This is their tactic to garner votes by cheating the public. A law will not be brought on an issue which is under the consideration of the Supreme Court. Only an insane person like Chennithala will do that, he said.
