Thiruvananthapuram: The ruling United Democratic Front that met at Chief Minister Oommen Chandy's official residence late Monday night decided to back the beleaguered leader after revelations made by Sreedharan Nair, one of the complainants in the case.
KPCC President Ramesh Chennithala told reporters after the meeting that it was a "political conspiracy" and that the Congress led UDF would face it unitedly.
All the ministers in the Chandy Cabinet besides top UDF leaders were also present at an emergency meeting held to discuss the disclosure.
In a jolt for Chandy in the solar panel scam, Sreedharan Nair Monday claimed he had met the Chief Minister along with solar-scam accused Saritha S Nair and discussed his investment for a solar project.
