Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy deposed before the judicial commission probing the solar panel scam for 14 hours and it went on past midnight during which he asserted there was no need for him to undergo lie-detector test as he has done “nothing wrong”.
Chandy, who is the first Chief Minister in Kerala to appear before a judicial commission, told the commission that the charges against him and his office were “politically motivated”.
“What is the need for thatIJ (lie-detector test). I have not done anything wrong. None has doubts that I have done anything wrong,” he said to a query during cross-examination.
Chandy’s deposition went on for 14 hours after it commenced at 11 am on Monday and concluded at 1 am on Tuesday, an official said on Tuesday. Chandy made a similar remark on the lie-detector test to reporters outside the Government guest house.
He told the commission that the charges against him and his office were “politically motivated”.
Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan hit out at Chandy, alleging he had not spoken the truth before the Commission.
