Well said
"I do not know how to engage in politics. I am a strictly
disciplined, trained military officer. My method of performing duties
does not suit politics. I would lose even the deposit if I were to
contest the elections.
If I had some popularity among the public I would lose even that by
entering politics, for I would go down in history as the most
unsuccessful politician of the country."
