Former Army Chief Gen V K Singhhas shown disinterest in joining politics as he feels that thepresent system is such that good people may not enter it.
"I have a small mission - Reclaim India. I want to raiseawareness among the people. Moreover, the present politicalsystem is such that good people may not enter politics. Thatdoes not mean, all those who are in politics are bad," Singhtold Rajat Sharma in India TV's 'Aap Ki Adalat' programme.
"This country has given me the best for the last 42 yearsand I want to give something back to my country," he added.
The retired general said there should be three requisitesfor a good politician -- good image with no criminal casepending, capability and the motivation to serve the nation andsociety.
Asked why he had attended a rally with INLD chief OmPrakash Chautala, who is in jail on corruption charges, hesaid he did it to celebrate the birth anniversary ofChautala's father Chaudhary Devi Lal.
"Devi Lal ji is the main figure who introduced Old AgePension in Haryana years before other states started thescheme. He also waived tax on poor people's bicycles. IfChautala was there because of his father, I can't push himout," Singh said.
He also said that he had no ambition to become a governoror ambassador.
