Lottery king Santiago Martin's Future Gaming was the biggest purchaser of electoral bonds at Rs 1,368 crore, of which nearly 37 per cent went to the DMK, the Election Commission data showed on March 17. The company donated Rs 509 crore to Tamil Nadu's ruling party, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), through the electoral bond. Tamil Nadu’s BJP Chief K Annamalai slammed the DMK-led MK Stalin Government and said, “How can you get 90 per cent from a company that too is involved in lottery and gaming? DMK has to come out. Chief Minister has gone against one private new magazine in Tamil Nadu for defamation, where he has given in writing to a Court an affidavit that he never took money from any of the companies that are involved in the gambling and gaming business.”
