Mohan Bhagwat, good choice for President to make India 'Hindu Rashtra': Shiv Sena

The Shiv Sena on Tuesday said Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat will be a good choice for the post of a President to make India a 'Hindu Rashtra'.

"If his name is being discussed for the presidential post, the there is nothing more satisfying than this. It is a very good thing to make India a 'Hindu Rashtra'. It is the highest post in the country. Somebody with a clean image should occupy it," Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut told ANI.

The Presidential elections will be held in July when President Pranab Mukherjee will complete his term.

According to reports, the names of Sushma Swaraj, Sumitra Mahajan and L K Advani are also being considered by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

President Mukherjee's term comes to an end in July and there are speculations that the Narendra Modi government will look for a fresh face for the nation's highest office.
