Solar Scam accused Saritha S Nair made a sensational revelation when she deposed before the judicial panel the other day.

Saritha told G Sivaranjan Commission that she bribed Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and Power Minister Aryadan Mohammed for her solar projects. She informed them about offering Rs 1.9 crore to CM's close aide Thomas Kuruvila in New Delhi. She also revealed the amount was paid in two installments as per the directions of Additional Private Secretary of CM, Jikkumon Jacob.

To give strength to her claims, Saritha spoke about his meeting with Kerala CM at his office in June 2011. It was CM who asked her to meet Thomas Kuruvila and the meeting happened on December 27th, 2012 at Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi. She offered a bag containing Rs 1.10 crore to Kuruvila then and balance Rs 80 lakhs was collected by the same person from her residence later.

Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, however, claims the people of his state willn't trust Saritha and her allegations against him.
