Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 17 : In strong words, Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan today said Controversial Lottery king Santiago Martin will not be allowed to plunder the state as long as his government was in power.
He was reacting to questions on the controversial lottery issue, which was reported to have come up during the CPI(M) Poliburo meeting in Kolkata and that the Politburo had taken action against him for his move to seek a CBI probe into the lottery issue without the party's consent.
Addressing reporters here, he asked weather his party would stand against the decisions taken to suppress looters like Martin.
Asked further on the lottery issue, Mr Achuthanandan said ''Every one knows my stand regarding the issue. I do not want to create any further controversy.'' The government had done everything it could whether it was lottery issue, farmer issues, power issues and water issues.
This government had taken up every issue, he added.
Asked about reports that the Politburo had taken action against him for his move to seek a CBI probe into the lottery issue without the party's consent, Mr Achuthanadan said he was unaware of it.
''I do not think that any action has been taken. I am not aware if party General Secretary Prakash Karat had said about this,'' he said.
There were reports in a section of media that the Politburo had censured Mr Achuthanandan for writing to the Centre seeking a CBI probe into irregularities in the operation of lotteries from outside Kerala and siphoning off thousands of crores of rupees from the state.
He also noted that there was good coordination between the party and the government.
