Jindal rules out running for Vice-President

Washington: Indian American Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, has ruled out the possibility of becoming the running mate to the presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, saying that his focus was on getting his State back on its feet after the debilitating Katrina.

Mr. Jindal’s name has surfaced as a potential running mate to Senator McCain but the Indian American head of a State has persistently ruled it out.

“...I’ve said it several times before...I’ll say it again: I’ve got the job I want,” Mr. Jindal said at the National Press Club here. — PTI
