"It doesn't matter which party they are from," says Kapil Dev, speaking like no voter should. Of course, what he means is that he'd campaign for a friend "whether the person's standing from the BJP, the Congress or as an Independent". The friend this time happens to be Kamal Nath.Touring the Congressman's constituency - Chhindwara in Madhya Pradesh, which he lost last time round - the ace cricketer was asked: When will you come here to play? "The next time I'm here," he replied, "I hope I'm playing cricket, not politics." But in case you're wondering, Kapil's not out to help himself. "I don't want any publicity for myself," he insists. "I enjoyed playing cricket, but now, all I want is to be with my family, and that good, committed people should go to Parliament." Nice shot, friend.Published By: AtMigration Published On: Mar 16, 1998--- ENDS ---
