Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 12 (IBNS) Just a day after Kerala Finance Minister KM Mani resigned over bribery allegations against him by hotelier Biju Ramesh, the UDF government was into a fresh trouble as Ramesh lodged a complaint against Excise Minister K Babu, reports said.

Reacting to the situation, Chief Minister  Oommen Chandy said that his party cannot be subdued with such allegations.

Biju Ramesh had earlier alleged that he had to pay rupees 10 crore as bribe for the renewal of his hotel licences, charges he bought against both Mani and Babu.

Meanwhile, crying foul play against the government, senior CPI-M leader VS Achuthanandan has demanded probe into the matter.
