KOCHI: Rajya Sabha candidate Jebi Mether has come up with an explanation regarding her selfie with actor Dileep. Jebi said that she took a selfie with Dileep during a municipal function and that it was a normal thing.

"I don't have any regret in taking that selfie. Dileep's case is being considered by the court. I am a person who attended a public event with PT Thomas for the assaulted actress. Several politicians are also named accused in various cases. I've shared the stage with them as well," Jebi said.

Meanwhile, Jebi also responded to the Facebook post of KV Thomas's son. "It is the party that should decide whether I could hold such a position. No one should be intolerant about the fact that I got the good fortune that no one managed to get," she said.

Following the announcement of Jebi Mather as the Rajya Sabha candidate, KV Thomas' son Biju Thomas had come up with a scathing critique in a Facebook post.
