Kerala: Months Ahead State Polls, Govt Hands Solar Scam Case To CBI
The Kerala government on January 24 handed over the 2013 solar scam case investigation to the CBI. The move came after former CM Oomen Chandy was made the Congress’ chief for managing the upcoming assembly polls. Also a week ago, the scam kingpin Saritha Nair requested Kerala CM Pinarai Vijayan over justice delayed in the sexual assault case she had filed against congress leaders. However, Congress has termed the move as politically motivated.
