New Delhi: Rashtriya
Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Tuesday pitched for Vice
President Hamid Ansari for the post of Indian president.
"Vice President Ansari should be made the president," Lalu Prasad
told reporters outside parliament.
"(A.P.J. Abdul) Kalam has been president once, so the vice
president should now be the president," he said.
Former president Kalam's name has featured prominently in the
presidential race after some political parties pitched for an
apolitical candidate for the post.
The government has meanwhile said it will try to develop a
consensus, adding that it was premature to name anyone.
