Haridwar: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday came out in support of the candidature of A P J Abdul Kalam in the Presidential poll, saying he is apolitical and that it will be good if he is elected.

"It will be good if he (Kalam) is elected as President.

The common man thinks that he is a nice man. While rest of the people have a political background, he does not. We can only give our opinion. But only lawmakers can elect the president,” Bhagwat told reporters here.

Bhagwat's remarks came on a day the NDA deferred its decision on whether or not to contest the Presidential election as it was divided over opposing UPA nominee Pranab Mukherjee.

While Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee has rooted for Kalam, the former President is yet to announce whether he will contest.

Ironically RSS wants a nice and apolitical person to become president but anybody can become prime minister even a criminal like Narendra Modi.
