"If I got a chance to serve the nation after retirement, I will definitely do it. If I do not get it then I will enjoy myself," Bassi said when asked about his plans after retirement during the annual press conference of Delhi Police.
The ruling AAP in Delhi which has been at loggerheads with Centre over control of Delhi Police, has repeatedly accused Bassi of behaving like a "senior BJP leader".
When asked which party he was going to join, Bassi smiled and said "it will be known after February 29."
He clarified his view by saying that under the state government Delhi Police will be subject to "local pressure" which is not there under the Centre since the Prime Minister and Home Minister at the Centre hold no such interest.
Control over Delhi Police has been one of the major issues in the tussle between the Central government and the Delhi government wherein Bassi has been accused of speaking like a BJP spokesperson, by the AAP leaders.
