NEW DELHI, JUNE 6: Cinestar-turned politician Shatrughan Sinha today said he would accept responsibility of Bihar Chief Ministership if people and his party consider him capable for the post and felt the state needed a change for the better even if it was through use of Article 356.``It is not up to me to decide. I am not in politics for personal gains. If people in general and my party (BJP) in particular feel I am capable, I can't say no,'' he told in a Meet-the-Press programme organised by the Press Club of India here today.While emphasising that politics had become an industry, the filmstar-politician said, ``Glamour has limited power but power has unlimited glamour''.Sinha also said he believed in Plato's dictum that a nation will be ruled by scoundrels if good people did not come forward, rather than Bernard Shaw's view that politics was the last refuge of scoundrels. Personally, he felt that politics had become the first refuge of scoundrels.He claimed that he was the first star who enteredpolitics at the height of his career in films and said he had never had any commands, demands, or expectations. He also claimed that he was the only film star who had never gotten into any problems with income tax authorities or had to suffer an income tax raid, even when the party he belonged to was in the opposition. He had, in fact, lost monetarily by joining politics, he said.But he had been greatly influenced by the late Lok Nayak Jaiprakash Narayan, and had a commitment to serve the country. He also said that he had been known for his loyalty for whichever party he had joined.
