Power corrupts, I can't enter politics: Ajay Devgn
Wednesday, 28 April 2010
MUMBAI, Apr 27: Power corrupts people and you need to be shrewd and play games to be in politics, says Ajay Devgn. While the actor will be seen playing a politician in the film "Raajneeti", he says he can never be one in real life."I can't enter politics because I am not cut out for it. I won't be able to manage it. You have to be very shrewd, smart and you need to know to play games even if you want to do good politics to counter the bad people. I don't think I am cut out for that," Ajay told IANS in an interview.
In the film "Yuva" too, he had portrayed a character who is young but jumps into the political fray.
"I personally think that politics is not bad...in the sense people in politics turn out to be bad. Politics is important for the nation and good politics is very important to run the world. If right people come to politics, the country will prosper.
"I think power corrupts people. People who want to do good things...once they come to power, all become corrupt. You can't just blame the politicians. Where do they come from? From our society, we bring them.
