Cong dismisses charges against Chandy

"He is a person whose character and record are described by the murder conviction," he said.
Reports from Kochi had it that Biju Radhakrishnan had yesterday made a sensational claim that he is in possession of video clippings in which six "powerful" politicians, including the chief minister, talking to his partner Saritha S Nair and "engaging in wrong situations".

He, however, did not deliberately show the sixth person's video as it was the Chief Minister himself.
