Union minister Giriraj Singh often in the headlines for his controversial remarks surprised many on Tuesday when he said that he may consider retiring from politics when the second term of the Narendra Modi government ends in 2023.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s second innings is also the last innings of my political career,” Singh said at a press conference in Patna. He was asked if he was among the contenders for the chief minister’s chair for the Bihar Assembly elections next year.

“I think, I am nearing the end of my political career. I am among those who had entered public life not with the ambition of becoming a legislator, an MP, or acquiring any position of power. I was fired by the nationalistic dream of integration of Kashmir for which our ideologue Syama Prasad Mookerjee gave up his life,” Singh said.
