Bihar polls: ‘Met CM Nitish Kumar, did not discuss politics’, says ex-Bihar DGP

Former Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey met Chief Minister Nitish Kumar here on Saturday, lending credence to speculations that the IPS officer's sudden move of taking VRS was propelled by the intention to join politics.

Pandey, who stepped down as the state police chief less than a week ago, however, insisted that he had walked down to the state headquarters of the JD(U), headed by thw Chief Minister, to "thank" Kumar for the trust reposed in him by the latter.

"I discussed nothing political with the Chief Minister.

I have worked with him for long and, after retirement, I just wanted to thank him for his support.

If and when I decide to join any political party, I will make it known to all, Pandey said.
