Janata Dal (S) leader  and former Chief Minister  of Karnataka H D Kumaraswamy  on Wednesday indicated support to  BJP-led NDA's candidate for Presidential polls Droupadi Murmu.

"Already she (Murmu) has discussed with our national president (H D Deve Gowda) over phone twice and has requested support. Also, she had sought time to come and meet. I requested our national President that there is no need for her to come personally in the current situation," Kumaraswamy said.

Speaking to reporters at Bengaluru, he said Murmu already has the majority on her side and she has expressed her desire to seek Gowda's support out of goodwill and generosity.  "She has already won...She need not come so far...We will decide in the party...You (media) may have understood by now  what our decision might be. Before taking a final decision, we will look into the background of both candidates. There is no question of Congress or BJP or any B-team here," he said, adding that he has gone through Murmu's background and her struggle.

Recently calling Murmu, as a "suitable" and "non-controversial" candidate, Gowda had noted that he doesn't want to refer to her as merely a tribal candidate, but wants to say that she is "competent" for the post of President.

Jharkhand Chief Minister who recently met Union Home minister Amit Shah is also to decide whether his party JMM, would switch its support to the NDA nominee backing-out from the opposition side.
