Regretable it is that despite sincere efforts made by NDA and UNPA,they could not garner sufficient for Dr.kalam .in the circumstances it will be prudent to allow Kalam to retire gracefully and get along with his pet plans of going back to teaching profession.His name will be written in bold red letters as the best president independent India is concerned. The best possible alternative in this scenario is to allow B,Shekhawat to contest as an independent supported by NDA and UNPA and a big chunk of UPA votes he is capable of managing and deal a bloody blow to the designs of dregs of society [leaders of UPA] He will hands down.
