Opp wants 1 day Kerala Session to table solar scam report

Published on: 

Opposition leader in the Kerala assembly, Ramesh  Chennithala on Wednesday demanded that a special one day assembly session  be convened to table the report of the judicial Commission that probed the solar scam, which hit the former Congress-led UDF Government headed by Ooomen Chandy.

The State Government had, on October 11, ordered a vigilance  probe against Chandy in connection with the multi-crore-rupee scam, based on the findings of the Justice G Sivarajan Commission, which  had probed it.

Speaking to reporters here, Chennithala alleged that the Government  was registering cases against senior Congress leaders of the erstwhile  Government after submission of the Commission's report. Also Chandy had demanded a copy of the report and so the special one day assembly session should be convened and the report tabled, he said.

Chandy had said on October 16 that he was still in the dark  about the findings of the commission and that the actual facts and findings, based on which the commission arrived at its conclusions, could only be known after he got a copy.

The Commission was appointed by the previous Chandy Government  after allegations surfaced about duping of several people of crores  of rupees by prime accused Saritha Nair and Biju Radhakrishnan, who offered them solar panel solutions.

Chennithala said senior Congress leader and former Union Minister  A K Antony would flag off a month long 'Kerala Yatra", in which alliance  partners of UDF would participate, at Manjeswaram in Kasargod district  on November 1.
