Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala on Thursday stated that the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) did not find any material to link Chief Minister VD Satheesan with alleged violations of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) or any other irregularity connected with the Punarjani flood rehabilitation project executed in his Paravur constituency Paravur years ago.
Chennithala also added that the VACB has decided to close all proceedings in the case.
"The chief minister was not directly involved in any financial transaction, nor did the probe find any evidence against him. The decision was taken based on the report of the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) director," he said.
Chennithala alleged that the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government had decided to recommend a CBI probe into the matter for political reasons.
