Ramesh Chennithala not the prime culprit: Antony Raju

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Congress (Francis George) leader Antony Raju has alleged that a bigger neta than Ramesh Chennithala was involved in the conspiracy against K.M. Mani in bar bribe case. He told a news channel that though the focus is now on Mr Chennithala, the internal report prepared on the conspiracy angle figured another top leader as the main accused.

Mr Raju, who was also one of the members of the party panel that probed the conspiracy charge, said the names of several other leaders figured in the report. He said if the original report came out, the UDF would become weak and the Kerala Congress might even a witness a vertical split.
