It's surprising that personality like Dr. Kalam played in the hands of the dalals of Indian politics like Amar Singh & Mulayam Yadav and others. And it is astonishing that seeing no chance of a win & denying repetedly for not contesting for a 2nd term he was asking for confirmation of a win. Is it a democracy or what ? you may get awards like this but not democratic posts. It was not wise for him to do this. Again why he is opting for Delhi for a residence not Chennai where he is going to teach. who will bear the cost of his frequent trips from chennai to delhi.
