Dharmendra rules out contesting elections again

Veteran actor Dharmendra ruled out contesting elections in the future and said that although he won the Bikaner Lok Sabha seat in 2004,he later regretted the decision of even contesting the elections.

I am an emotional person. I dont know which party is having what ideology. Take any party 8211; no one considers the country as a mother. Everywhere the country is being looted. The day political parties start regarding India as a mother and begin serving her,the country will become heaven, he said in Indore recently.

On his decision to fight elections from Bikaner,the actor said though he was not willing to fight the polls due to the prevailing political scenario. I felt bad for defeating my nearest rival, he said,adding that he discharged his duties as an MP religiously. What I did in Bikaner in five years wasnt done in the past 50 years. However,I dont want credit for it, said the 75-year-old actor who was in Indore to promote Yamla Pagla Deewana.
