Coimbatore: Puthiya Tamizhagam leader Krishnaswamy said he was disappointed by the high court dismissing his petition to postpone counting on May 2. He did not file the petition seeking publicity and there were valid reasons for the plea, he told reporters here on Friday.
“In the assembly elections that were held on April 6, there was large-scale distribution of bribe to voters. I sent a plea to the Election Commission of India to defer the counting. A panel of Supreme Court judges should probe the issue and till then, presidential rule should be imposed in TN, I had requested. When there was no response, I filed a petition in the high court. But the court rejected my plea. I deny that the petition was frivolous or that I had filed it for publicity. I approached the court as a party leader and not as an individual, to uphold democracy,” he said.
