Over a week after his coalition government collapsed, former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy Saturday said he wants to "step back" from politics and termed his entry into the field accidental.
Expressing unhappiness over the current state of politics, the JDS leader said it was not good for people as it was dominated by hatred and caste.
"Todays politics is not for good people. Todays politics is filled with infatuation towards caste, hate politics...
The way certain feelings are instigated in people by a section, the way youth today are deflecting from their path...can I correct all these things? God will see," Kumaraswamy said.
Speaking to reporters at Hassan, he said "Dont bring my family into this repeatedly. Im not here to stick on in politics...looking at todays politics, I myself want to step back from politics.
I have come into politics accidentally, I became chief minister accidentally...."
