Accusations

Oommen Chandy in January 2013

2013 Kerala solar panel scam accusation

2013 Kerala solar panel scam was one of the main scams accused by the LDF-led opposition during the reign of Second Oommen Chandy ministry. It was also one of the main election issues accused by LDF during 2016 Kerala Legislative Assembly election.

However, later the Crime Branch appointed by First Vijayan ministry in the year 2018 found that there was no evidence against Oommen Chandy in the scam. As part of the procedures, the state home secretary T. K. Jose had forwarded a report to the central government. According to the report, no evidence could be collected against Oommen Chandy and the Crime Branch failed to confirm that the incident mentioned in the complaint actually happened. The case was handed over to the central agency after several teams of the Kerala Police, repeatedly failed to prove the allegations against Oommen Chandy.

Vizhinjam port corruption accusation

The opposition led by CPI(M) had accused corruption in Vizhinjam International Seaport project ahead of 2016 Kerala Legislative Assembly election.

The First Vijayan ministry appointed a three-member judicial commission under Justice C. N. Ramachandran for investigation in May 2017.

The commission in 2018 concluded that there was no corruption with the State's dream project and that there was no misuse of political power in the port project. The commission report states that there was no evidence to prove there was corruption. C. N. Ramachandran said that, "Nobody came forward with any specific corruption charges against any individual and nobody ventured to give any evidence. When there is no allegation of corruption against anyone, there is no need to investigate corruption against anyone. That is why commission has not found corruption against anyone."

Pattoor Land Case

Pattoor Land Case was accused by the LDF-led opposition ahead of 2016 Kerala Legislative Assembly election. In February 2018, the Kerala High Court pointed out that the Vigilance registered the First information report based on the wrong report prepared by Jacob Thomas. The court said that the claim that the property vests with Kerala Water Authority was not based on any document. As the High Court rejected the case, UDF government got a clean chit. The High Court found that Oommen Chandy or UDF government was not involved in any corruption.

Bar bribery case

Bar bribery case was accused by the LDF-led opposition against K. M. Mani, who was the minister of finance in Second Oommen Chandy ministry, and a leader of Kerala Congress (M). Bar Hotel Owners Association president Biju Ramesh had alleged Mani had taken Rs 1 crore bribe to reopen bars closed by the Oommen Chandy government as part of its liquor policy. Jacob Thomas was the Vigilance Director when the accusation was made against the then finance minister. In March 2018, the Kerala Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau gave cleanchit to K. M. Mani stating that there is no evidence against Mani in the case. The case against Mani was closed in April 2019. In March 2021, the vigilance gave cleanchit to K. Babu, a Congress leader and minister of Kerala during 2011–2016, who was accused of a corruption of Rs 100 cr over issuing new bar licenses and closure of liquor outlets close to bars. The report submitted by vigilance central range superintendent requested the court to cancel the case observing it to be baseless. The vigilance found that there was no evidence to prove that Babu was corrupt.

Ice cream parlour case

The case dates back to 1997. The case came back in focus in January 2011 ahead of 2011 Kerala Legislative Assembly election. The Ice cream parlour case was accused against P. K. Kunhalikutty, a former minister of Kerala, by the LDF-led opposition. In 2012, the Special Investigation Team who investigated the case gave cleanchit to Kunhalikutty, stating that there was no evidence to prove involvement of Kunhalikutty in the scam.

Trivia
