Coming out in support of Oommen Chandy, state Industries Minister P K Kunhalikutty today termed the allegations levelled by Saritha Nair, an accused in the solar scam, against the Kerala Chief Minister as "completely baseless".
Talking to reporters after inaugurating the United Democratic Front's Kozhikode south constituency election convention here, he said, "The allegations by Saritha Nair against theChief Minister are baseless."
"She says something in the morning and changes her stand in the evening. Her allegations cannot be taken on their face value," Kunhalikutty said.
"The allegations will in no way affect the image of either theChief Minister or the UDF government. On the otherhand, it willonly enhance his image among the public that show a lot ofaffection toward him," he added.
The IUML leader claimed the controversy will only affect LDF, which, he alleged, was behind the incident.
Responding to a query, Kunhalikutty denied any confusion in selection of candidates in UDF.
