Carpet seller Deepak Jaikishan – the PN- Gerakan candidate for Pulai in Johor is now standing in Klang as an Independent
Mr Deepak Jaikishan, better known as the “carpet seller”, will contest as an independent candidate.
The former associate of jailed prime minister Najib Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor surprised everyone when he stood as an independent in Klang after quitting Perikatan Nasional, which had earlier named him for Pulai.
“I don’t agree with Perikatan’s agenda as well as the restrictions it had placed on me,” he said.
Mr Jaikishan, who owns a carpet business, had sued Najib and Rosmah over an alleged conspiracy that he claimed led to him suffering losses, but the case was thrown out by the court.
