at present he is standing on a crossroad, but it is not advisable to remain in such a position for long and therefore take a decision on the issue soon.

 "I will go where I will get respect," Lodhi said. Asked about the reasons for quitting BJP, he said that he has lost faith in the party.

"I am of the opinion that after 60 years of age, nobody should become prime minister and chief minister. The Constitution should be amended on the issue," Lodhi said.
