Not in the race for the post of President : RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat
Speaking to reporters in Nagpur on the occasion of Gudi Parva, the Marathi New Year, Bhagwat said, "I am not in the race for the President".
"Think of such news as entertainment and leave it at that," he said.
BJP ally Shiv Sena had earlier this week proposed Bhagwat's name as the head of the country while the party's MP and spokesperson Sanjay Raut extended support to any such move by the NDA in the future.
President Pranab Mukherjee's term comes to end in July.
