KOCHI: Kerala chief minister Oommen Chandy today said he had written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, to expedite CBI probe into the large-scale irregularities in the functioning of other state lotteries in the state.

The state was also keen that the probe includes the recent fire at the Palakkad office of Megha Distributors, one of the operators of Bhutan lotteries, which had destroyed several documents, Chandy told reporters.

The previous CPM-led LDF government led by VS Achuthanandan had demanded a CBI probe. The matter had also come up in the Kerala high court with Congress MLA VD Sateeshan and another petitioner seeking CBI probe.

The PILs had been closed by the court after recording the submission of Solicitor General of India, Gopal Subramaniam that the former chief minister's request for CBI probe will be acted upon by the central government.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Former chief minister VS Achuthanandan demanded resignation of home minister P Chidambaram in the wake of the Centre agreeing for a CBI probe into operation of other state lotteries in Kerala, accusing him of scuttling demands for such inquiry whenever the previous LDF government wanted it.

"Finally the Centre has agreed to a CBI probe. This is a welcome step. However, Chidambaram should step down as he had sought to scuttle demands of such a probe, whenever the previous LDF government wanted it," the CPM leader said.

He was reacting to the development in the lottery case in which solicitor general Gopal Subramaniam said the Centre was ready and willing to conduct an inquiry into allegations regarding the lottery operations.
