Thiruvananthapuram: Chief Minister Oommen Chandy Thursday said the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government should take responsibility for the financial dealings relating to Titanium and the losses incurred on account of these.
“My name did not figure in the original complaint relating to the issue. My name and those of Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala and Public Works Minister V.K. Ebrahim Kunju were included after the Vigilance had already probed the issue during the LDF rule,” Chandy said.
“The UDF government had decided to entrust the work with Central public sector MECON. All the follow-up measures were taken by the LDF government,” he said.
The Vigilance Court Thursday ordered a re-investigation into the titanium pollution control plant scam.
The special judge while rejecting the report filed by the Vigilance department of the Kerala police, asked it to register fresh FIRs against 12 persons, including chief minister Oommen Chandy, home minister Ramesh Chennithala, public works department minister V K Ibrahimkunju and former industries secretary T Balakrishnan.
