NEW DELHI: Former Telecom Minister A Raja on Friday appeared upset over the results of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in which his party DMK got severe drubbing at the hands of arch-rival AIADMK.
"I am in judicial custody so I cannot answer questions. How can you question me?" Raja, who looked disturbed, retorted when mediapersons sought his comment on the poll outcome.
On persistent queries by reporters in courtroom, where he appeared before special CBI judge O P Saini, Raja said, "I did not see the results. Somebody informed me so I got to know."
When asked whether he was expecting a clean sweep for the AIADMK, he said, "They have already got it."
