Bedlam in Kerala Assembly over solar scam

The Kerala Assembly today witnessed uproarious scenes over the solar scam with the CPI(M)-led LDF opposition and ruling UDF headed by Congress coming face-to-face, leading to the adjournment of the House for the day.
The treasury benches, which exercised restraint amid the LDF onslaught since last week, turned aggressive and engaged in heated exchanges with the LDF members who took to the well of the House during the zero hour.
As the wordy duel heated up accompanied by angry gestures at each other, Speaker G Karthikyan adjourned the House temporarily as he felt the situation could slip out of hand.

When the House assembled after an hour, the opposition raised the issue again claiming that new evidence had surfaced showing that Chief Minister Oommen Chandy had given a letter endorsing the company which indulged in fraudulent deals offering solar energy solutions.
Refuting the charge, Chandy dared the opposition to produce the purported letter of recommendation he had given to the company floated by Saritha Nair and Biju Radhakrishnan, accused in the case.
Chandy said LDF was making the charge on the basis of a statement made by Radhakrishnan's lawyer, who is a co-accused in one of the cheating cases along with the duo.

The slogan-shouting LDF members surged into the well of the House again and the Speaker adjourned the House for the day after rushing through the items on the agenda.
