New Delhi, May 7 (IANS) Opposition leaders on Tuesday asserted that they would approach the Election Commission and will go public over the matter after the Supreme Court rejected their demand to increase the count for VVPAT slips with EVMs.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party President N. Chandrababu Naidu said that the petition was aimed at bringing "transparency" in democracy.

"What we are asking is a genuine demand. We are fighting for this on behalf of the nation. We will continue our fight," he told reporters here after the court's decision.
