Former Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy's personal staff member Tenny Joppen was arrested in connection with the solar scandal, but senior Congress politician K C Joseph has questioned the claim of opposition leader V D Satheesan. Joseph claimed that Chandy was unaware of the arrest until after it had already occurred.
Joseph elucidated the sequence of events by noting that Chandy was away to accept a United Nations award at the time of Joppen's detention. He elaborated that he and Chandy were travelling together and learned about Joppen's arrest via the press. This runs counter to what Satheesan said in the assembly, when he claimed that not only Chandy but even the top leaders of the Congress and UDF allies knew that an arrest was coming.
Joseph also raised questions about the handling of the situation by the home department, suggesting that they should have informed the Chief Minister's office prior to the arrest. However, he left it to the home department to explain why the Chief Minister was not informed about such a significant development.
This open debate inside the Congress party about Oommen Chandy's knowledge of Tenny Joppen's arrest in the solar case exemplifies the complexities of the issue and the necessity of openness in dealing with it. The contradictory assertions highlight the necessity for transparent communication and responsibility within Kerala's political system. Any new information or clarifications may help explain what happened and who was responsible in the solar case.
