Congress today steered clear of reports that Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy is facing the heat in the solar scam with a prime accused alleging that bribes of over Rs two crore had been paid to him and a minister in his cabinet.
"We have no information", remarked party General Secretary V Narainsamy at the AICC briefing when asked by reporters on the issue.
Kicking up a political storm this morning, Saritha, who appeared before the Justice Sivarajan Commission at Kochi, trained her guns against the CM and his senior cabinet colleague and Power minister, Aryadan Muhammed.
She alleged that Rs 1.90 crore had been given to Chandy's key aide to set up mega solar projects in Kerala and about Rs 40 lakh to the Personal Assistant of Aryadan.
The AICC also reacted in similar vein when asked about a Karnataka minister boasting about his role in the abrupt transfer of a senior woman police official for putting his call on hold on her mobile phone.
A video footage showing Labour Minister P T Parameshwara Naik making a boastful claim for the shunting out of Deputy Superintendent of Police of Kudligi sub-division in Ballari district Anupama Shenai has gone viral.
