Kolkata/Allahabad, Feb 17 (PTI) Scotching speculation about his joining politics, former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly today said he was "not good enough" to enter this arena as Samajwadi Party followed CPI-M in inviting him to its fold.
"It is not true. I am not good enough for politics," Ganguly told reporters in Kolkata at the end of the Bengal-Assam Ranji Trophy one-day encounter at the Eden Gardens here on being asked about the prospects of his joining politics.
Asked whether he would join the Samajwadi Party, Sourav quipped "if I have to join politics, I have my own state." Speculation was fuelled when his wife, Dona, indicated in Allahabad that he was being wooed to fight the coming Lok Sabha elections from Uttar Pradesh.
Dona, a noted Odissi dancer, said the West Bengal government definitely wanted her husband to step into politics, while a minister in U P had invited him to contest the elections from that state. PTI
