With the solar panel scam continuing to turn the heat on Kerala’s Congress-led UDF Government, telephone call details gathered by investigators showed that several ministers and political leaders had made calls to the prime accused in the case Saritha Nair, apart from getting frequent calls from her.
As the call list, beamed by the local media, caused further embarrassment to the Oommen Chandy Government, ministers and MLAs sought to downplay the issue, holding that as public servants it would be difficult for them to monitor all the calls they get on their phones. Though they put on a brave face, some expressed strong resentment at the leaking out of call details to the media by investigators, which they think had the approval of the Home Department.
