New Delhi: Former CAG Vinod Rai today denied all speculations regarding his plans to join politics.

"I sincerly believe politics is a good profession and that good people need to go into politics also, but it is not my cup of tea," said the former comptroller and auditor general.

Rumours of Vinod Rai joining politics had gained ground after he attacked former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in his upcoming book ‘Not Just An Accountant'.

Vinod Rai had also said that a few Congress leaders had sought to apply pressure on him to keep the then Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's name out of audit reports.

Referring to the compulsions of coalition politics, the former CAG had further alleged that Manmohan Singh's only priority was to save his chair at any cost.

All this comments had encouraged speculations of Vinod Rai's entry into politics but with today's statement, he has tried to put to rest all such conjectures.
