He said he has never done back door politics.

"I am going to my village after 13 years. Why would I try to change my image? People have accepted me the way I am for 26 years. I haven't met with anyone for the last ten years," he added.

The former MP was in jail since November 2005 after he was rounded-off from his residence in New Delhi by a joint team of Siwan and the Delhi Police.
