Krishna non-commital over returning to K'taka politics

Mysore, Feb 17 (UNI) Maharashtra Governor and former chief minister S M Krishna today remained non-committal over his return to state politics.

In a chat with newspersons at the helipad soon after his arrival on a private visit here, Mr Krishna said 'the news about his returning to state politics has been going around from the time I took over as Governor three years back and I don't have any definite answer for it.' Referring to the controversial book written by former Karnataka minister H Vishwanath in which he (Mr Krishna) was referred to having friendship with yesteryear actor B Saroja Devi, Mr Krishna said he had not yet read the book.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilas Rao Deshmukh also arrived in the city to participate in a marriage function where Mr Krishna was also present.

Mr Deshmukh and his wife offered prayers at the Sri Chamundeswari temple atop the Chamundi Hills.
