MELAKA, July 15 (Bernama) -- Former MIC deputy president Datuk S. Subramaniam today reiterated that he would contest the party's number two post in the MIC election in September.
He said it was up to the delegates to evaluate his charisma as an 'old guard' in the party when making the right choice for the post of deputy president.
"I will certainly contest for the post of deputy president. I have a chance of winning," he told reporters here this afternoon.
Earlier, he attended the 63rd Melaka MIC Convention opened by MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu. Also present was Melaka MIC chairman Datuk S. Raghavan.
Subramaniam said this when asked to comment on a Bernama report today that Samy Vellu had endorsed his deputy Datuk G.Palanivel to defend his number two post in the MIC election on Sept 12.
On the statement by Samy Vellu that he was endorsing the incumbent deputy president, Subramaniam said: "It's up to Samy (Vellu) to make the statement although he (Samy Vellu) had earlier said that he would be neutral in the election."
Meanwhile, Palanivel announced that he would defend his post at the MIC general assembly which is expected to be attended by about 1,400 delegates throughout the country.
