Shatrughan Sinha Speaks To Subhash K Jha On Contesting The Lok Sabha Elections As BJP Candidate

Ha, but I wish people had asked me instead of speculating about my contesting the elections. I looked at my colleagues in politics and wondered why they were lobbying so hard for a ticket. Gairon se kaha tumne gairon se suna tumne kuch humse suna hota kuch humse kaha hota. I’d have happily given over my candidacy to anyone who asked for it. I didn’t come into politics to become rich or to gain power. I was influenced by the political ideology of Jaiprakash Narayan . I came into this field to practice healthy politics.

Isn’t ‘healthy politics’ a contradiction in terms?
