Thiruvananthapuram: One of the country’s longest serving legislator K M Mani of Kerala, whose stock is currently low on various counts – like a few Vigilance Department probes against him and his exit from the Congress-led UDF alliance – is tightlipped about his future. In an interaction with IANS, Mani remained non-committal on the public speculation that his party might join the NDA led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, which he opposed all through since he became one of the founder leaders of the Congress-led United Democratic Front in 1982. Yet, at the same time did not firmly deny that he tilting towards the BJP.
Mani’s Kerala Congress-Mani – the third biggest component of the United Democratic Front – walked out of it in August. Since then there has been widespread speculation that he will join the NDA.
