M. M. Mani

Mundakkakkal Madhavan Mani (born 12 December 1946) is an Indian politician and Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader.

LDF government in Kerala led by Pinarayi Vijayan inducted CPI(M) secretariat member M M Mani into the cabinet on 22 November 2016.

[7] In a speech at Manakkad on 25 May 2012, Mani, who was then the CPI(M) Idukki district secretary, said that he and the party had made a list of their political rivals and killed them.

In February 2016, he insulted police officers in Idukki and a female principal of a local college.

[11] On 6 April 2017, Mr. Mani made a statement about the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi.

He also said that Mr. Modi treated his mother badly, as he made her wait at the ATM for two hours to withdraw money, after there was a shortage of cash following demonetization.

Several CPI(M) members and opposition leaders have expressed concerns about Mani's statements as well.

Vijayan also said that Mr. Mani's Idukki dialect and colloquial use of Malayalam also contributed to people misinterpreting his words.

[citation needed] MM Mani was the Kerala Minister of Electricity and his ministry is being alleged by opposition leaders and senior administrators as the main reason for one of the largest floods in the state which claimed 400 lives and displaced more than 15 lakh people.

The Kerala high court constituted an amicus curiae to investigate the matter and submit a report.
