Coimbatore: During a recent meeting with journalists at Coimbatore Airport, Jharkhand Governor C P Radhakrishnan expressed his views on the robustness of democracy evidenced by the latest parliamentary elections.

"This indeed is the grand democracy of India, being the largest in the world," Radhakrishnan stated.

He addressed skepticism regarding electronic voting machines, especially those previously raised by experts in Tamil Nadu, asserting that such doubts should now be allayed. Answering inquiries about the DMK conference, he opined that the victorious will celebrate, and that the betterment of Tamil Nadu will be decided by its people in the forthcoming elections.

I truly appreciate Annamalai's commitment; his hard work is undeniable, and what he has achieved is purely the result of his dedication," he explained.
