Left rejects second term for Kalam

The Communist Party of India-Marxist on Thursday rejected the Third Front United National Progressive Alliance's proposal for a second term to President A P J Abdul Kalam.


President Kalam, if he contests the presidential polls, will lose to the United Progressive Alliance-Left Front candidate Pratibha Patil, now the Rajasthan governor, by about one lakh votes.


The President had on Wednesday said that he would run for a second term if there is certainty about his chances.


Further details soon.

Guyz we need Kalam.....basically we need non-political background president

I agree with kranbafna. WE need a person like Mr. Kalam to be our president. Its unfortunate that the leftists think otherwise

It would've been an awesome strategy to look down upon the congress if *the left* had given APJ a chance for the second term.

The Indian Junta would've been enraged with Hon. APJ Kalam loosing the elections and congress wouldve had to bear the brunt.

Too bad politicians have forgot to play the game. ound:
