He was on his way to meet his aunt and jailed party chief Sasikala in Bengaluru, he said in conclusion.
CHENNAI: Strongly denying charges of trying to bribe the Election Commission of India to get back the ‘Two leaves” symbol, AIADMK (Amma) deputy general secretary TTV Dhinakaran on Monday vowed to fight the case legally and alleged that “efforts were being made to destroy our organisation politically”.
“I do not know who is Sukesh Chandrasekhar. I came to know only through television that he has told my name. I am attending thousands of phone calls every day. This can be one of them. Somebody is doing this to destroy the party. I do not know who that is.” He also said he did not get any summons from Delhi police. “If I get summons, I will face it legally”, he asserted.
He added, “No one asked me to dismiss health minister C. Vijayabaskar. He will continue as health minister”. The three ministers who were charged with obstructing the I-T officials during the I-T raids on Vijayabaskar would also face it legally, he said. “How does a broker or somebody say the money was from TTV Dhinakaran? I don’t know anybody by that name nor have I come across any such name in my life,” he told reporters here. “Such information is being spread to destroy our organisation politically. He was on his way to meet his aunt and jailed party chief Sasikala in Bengaluru, he said in conclusion.
