Mani will present his budget, says Chandy

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has come to the fore giving full support to Finance Minister K M Mani in the bar bribe scam. Briefing reporters after the weekly cabinet meet, Chandy said Mani will present the budget this time also. I don’t want to reply to baseless allegations, he said.  

Everybody knows how the audio clippings come, Chandy said while replying to the question why he is not seeking the resignation of Mani even after bar owners came with the audio clippings. Nobody can topple the government by these allegations. Is it good to raise unnecessary allegations when the investigation is on?, he asked.

Chandy said that he will reply to the allegations of R Balakrishna Pillai after the UDF meet on January 28.

Vigilance ADGP Jacob Thomas has not been shifted from the post. It is a normal procedure to prepare the list of officers to be elevated to DGP rank, he said.
