Mulayam joins Prez row: Wants political person only
May 03, 2012  13:23

SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, in a statement that is diametrically opposite to NCP chief Sharad Pawar's view, says the President should be a political person.

So far, the Left parties, which have been advocating "maximum consensus' to elect a new President, may not be averse to supporting a candidate like Vice-President Hamid Ansari if the Congress comes up with his name.

The BJP's Sushma Swaraj has earlier said that Ansari lacked the stature for the Presidential post.
