There is a conspiracy behind the discussion of the meeting with Prakash Javadekar before the Lok Sabha elections. It was only after informing the Secretariat that the advertisement was bought for Deshabhimani from people including Santiago Martin. However, V S Achuthanandan made this as a weapon against him.
