I'm not a saint: Mulayam makes clear his PM ambition: Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav made clear on Wednesday his prime ministerial ambition, saying he was not a saint, and pointed out that if H.D. Deve Gowda could get a chance to occupy the post, such an opportunity could come before his party also.
