'Not Contesting Lok Sabha Polls, I Am 90 Now': Ex PM Deve Gowda

"I have some strength to talk and have memory power. With that I will campaign," former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda said ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda on Saturday said he will not contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in view of his age.

The 90-year-old JD(S) supremo said he will campaign for candidates in the elections.

"I am not contesting the elections. I am now 90. Whichever seats we get, wherever it is necessary, I will go there. I have some strength to talk and have memory power. With that I will campaign," Mr Gowda said in a press conference.
