Udupi: Actor Rajkumar was given an opportunity to become the Chief Minister of Karnataka. But Dr.Rajkumar politely declined this opportunity saying that he will not join politics. Former Chief Minister Veerappa Moily recalled this old memory in the presence of Shivraj Kumar.
At that time NT Rama Rao in Andhra Pradesh, MGR in Tamil Nadu had entered politics. Similarly, in Karnataka too, there were rumors that Dr.Rajkumar would join politics and become the Chief Minister. For that we took Dr.Rajkumar and Parvatamma to Delhi and met Indira Gandhi. But Dr.Rajkumar refused this opportunity saying that he will not join politics.
If Rajkumar had entered politics, he would have been ruling the politics of Karnataka even today. Later, Indira Gandhi asked him to accept Rajya Sabha membership. Moily said that Dr.Rajkumar was a sacrificer who politely rejected that too.
