Diverse talks in Kerala Congress over future course of action
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Secret parleys are going on within the Kerala Congress regarding Finance Minister K M Mani’s resignation as more evidence are coming out against him in bar bribery case, according to sources. Though nobody is openly demanding Mani’s resignation, secretly they are doing so.
Many in the party eye Mani’s ministerial post and hence an internal strife can be expected over who would replace Mani. When some in the party want C F Thomas to be elevated to that position, others are batting for Mani’s son Jose K Mani. But Kerala Congress leader P C George has come out against Jose K Mani becoming the minister.
Meanwhile, some in the party wish for the resignation of P C George and P J Joseph, in case Mani resigns so that the party can give external support to the government. But Joseph group is against this and they even see Joseph as a suitable replacement for Mani .

Woman pretends to be prospective bride, cons men
MOOVATTUPUZHA: Here is a woman who marries, not to lead a happy life but to make some quick bucks. Any number of time she would marry for money…for leading a posh life. She is Jiji Mathew , an expert in conning men in the name of marriage. Jiji (40), hailing Perumbavoor, was arrested recently by Moovattupuzha police. However she is known to his victims in different names.
The modus operandi was that Jiji would call up men who advertised in matrimonial columns. She would talk to them over phone in sweet voice for hours and days on end. Once they fell into the virtual honey trap, she would arrange for a meeting with them, promise to marry them and take money and gold gifts from them. She would soon drug them and flee the spot. Sometimes she herself advertised in matrimonial columns and got in touch with men
Based on the complaint by a prospective bridegroom from Mooovattupuzha, police prepared a sketch of Jiji, published that in newspapers and finally trapped her.
