Will enter politics only if…: Ex-DGP of Bihar Gupteshwar Pandey

TIL Desk/National/Patna/ Ex-Director General of Police of Bihar, Gupteshwar Pandey on Wednesday said that he would enter politics only if the people of his home district Buxar want him to do so. “People have been coming to me in large numbers from Begusarai, Sitamarhi, Shahpur and several other districts, telling me that if I wish to enter politics then I should contest election from their district.

Buxar is my home district where I was born and brought up. It will be a decision by them. If they want me to, then I may enter politics” Pandey said. “Criticism from political leaders is inevitable as I don’t have family members in politics to look out for me. My family used to do farming and rear cattle. Some people don’t find it acceptable which is why they are saying these things,” he added.

Reacting to the a music video ‘Robinhood Bihar ke’ featuring him, Pandey said, “A fan has made this video of me to express his love for me. I did not have anything to do with it, but I am glad that they look up to me.” Pandey quit as DGP after his request for voluntary retirement was approved on Tuesday by the Bihar government, which waived a three-month mandatory cooling-off period.
