''I am not worthy of becoming President'':Amitabh

Mumbai, Feb 18 (UNI) Saying that he was not worthy of occupying the President's post, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has clarified that he had not received any offer or proposal for contesting the Presidential polls this year.

''I am not worthy of such a distinguished post of responsibility,'' Amitabh told reporters last night during the music release function of his next film 'Nishabd', directed by Ramgopal Varma.

He was responding to reports that Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh has mooted his name as a potential Presidential candidate and Telugu Desam party president Chandrababu Naidu had endorsed the same.

Dr A P J Abdul Kalam's term as President of India ends in July this year.

Bachchan was elected to the Sabha member from Allahabad constituency on a Congress ticket in 1984 and resigned three years later following allegations of his involvement in the Bofors scandal.
