| A succession of disclosures against him in a corruption scandal have left Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy precariously placed ahead of state elections.
1The Chief Minister won a reprieve today - a lower court's order to register a police case or FIR against him in the solar scam has been stopped by the Kerala High Court. "I am innocent... there is nothing to be relieved about," said the politician after today's court ruling.
2The judge whose decision on the FIR was over-ruled today has offered to resign.
3The Chief Minister's main challenge lies in Saritha Nair, accused of duping industrialists by promising them cheap solar panels that were never delivered.
4Ms Nair, arrested in 2013 and later granted bail, has been making startling allegations against the Chief Minister this week in her testimony for a retired judge investigating the solar scam.
5Ms Nair has said that she paid Rs. 1.9 crores as bribes for the Chief Minister to his aides. Mr Chandy has said that claim is baseless, and has pointed out that he suspended three of his aides who seemed to have close links with Ms Nair.
6The solar scam was posited on the alleged proximity to the Chief Minister that Ms Nair and her partner, Biju Radhakrishnan, flaunted to land valuable clean energy deals.
