I would be happy if LK Advani or Sushma Swaraj become President: Mamata Banerjee

KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that she would be happy if BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani or Sushma Swaraj becomes the President of India.

However, she remained non-committal about her support in the Presidential election. Banerjee was speaking in a programme in private news channel.

"I respect Advani ji, Sushma ji. I will be happy if they become President. I will also be happy if Pranab Mukherjee stay as president," Banerjee said during that interaction.


However, while asked about her support, she said, "this has to be a collective decision. I have to speak to my party before I take a final call. Lot of equations are involved."
