I will obviously join politics: Ex-DGP of Bihar

September 24, 2020 11:43

Gupteshwar Pandey, ex-Bihar DGP, on joining politics: "It'll obviously happen as I've no godfather. I don't have a political background. We used to do farming and rear cattle. I've come from there. It's not acceptable to some.

"People are coming to me in large numbers, telling me that if I wish to enter politics then I should contest election from their district. Everyone is very close to me. It'll be a decision by public. If they want me to, then I may enter politics."

Pandey, who quit the post of the Bihar police chief on Wednesday, gave what appeared a clear hint of his future plan by the end of the day. Since Tuesday, when he put in his papers, there was a strong buzz that the former police chief will join politics, contesting the coming state elections on an NDA ticket from his hometown Buxar.
