WASHINGTON: Indian-American Governor of Louisiana Bobby Jindal denied being the running mate to the presumptive Republican nominee Senator John McCain saying he had "never" talked about the subject with him.
"He (McCain) and I have never talked about that," said Jindal when asked if he was being considered for the Number Two spot during a programme on Fox News.
"I am happy to be governor of Louisiana and happy to support him," he remarked.
There were media reports that he was actively considered or will be the running mate to the presumptive Republican nominee Senator John McCain.
"Certainly I am supporting Senator McCain. I think his views are where the country is. He is to the center. He is conservative. He is for cutting our taxes, taking a tough line on Iran and other international challenges. One of the things I think we have seen in the last few weeks from Senator Obama is he has changed many of his positions," Jindal said.
I do not always agree with Senator McCain, but at least you know where he stands, and you can respect his principal positions, he added.
