LDF stalls Kerala assembly over solar panel scam

19 Jun 2013 Evaluate

After seeking leave for an adjournment motion on 'police excesses' on youth marchers over the issue for the last two days, LDF members raised the demand for Chandy's resignation alleging he had links with the scam accused Saritha Nair and Biju Radhakrishnan, who financially cheated many people by promising them solar panel solutions and agencies.

Continuing to target chief minister Oommen Chandy on the solar panel scam, the CPI (M) led LDF opposition today stalled proceedings in the assembly for the third consecutive day. Trying to take the wind out of the opposition sails, Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan said there was no truth whatsoever in the opposition allegation that the fake company had been given orders to install solar panels in many government institutions including chief minister's official residence.

After the House adjourned, LDF members marched out of the assembly hall and staged a sit-in for a while in front of the legislature complex. The government had entrusted the case to a special team of investigators headed by ADGP (South Zone). The accused in the case, Saritha and Biju Radhakrishnan, have been arrested and remanded to custody.
