Mangalorean: Bangalore: M P Prakash to bid adieu to poll politics

Excerpt:
"State Home Minister and JDS President M P Prakash has announced his retirement from electoral politics.

Announcing this at a press meet in the City on Wednesday, Mr Prakash said he took the decision with a view to devote more time for literary and theatre activities. "It is not motivated by any disillusionment with the present-day sytem," he said.

Mr Prakash also said he should have quit electoral politics a long time back. "But due to pressure from various quarters, I did not do so. I am 66 years old now. I am very firm on the decision. I am not going to contest any elections in future," he asserted."
