Mr. Rajasekharan said the BJP would soon move the Delhi High Court taking up the claim of the solar scam-accused Saritha S. Nair that she had handed over Rs.1.10 crore in bribe to Mr. Chandy’s aide Thomas Kuruvila in Delhi. The BJP demanded a CBI probe into the solar scam as it involved alleged unholy deals made outside the State.
About the proposed Athirappilly hydroelectric project, Mr. Rajasekharan said the BJP had made its stand clear on the same and Union Minister for Environment and Forests Prakash Javadekar had clarified that the Centre had not given any clearance for the project.
