I do not agree with you that if the election were to be thrown open to the public it is certain that the incumbent, APJ Abdul Kalam will get a 2nd term .
I agree with the BJP in this regard that no person should get a second term as President considering that that the President is only a defacto head . I am also not convinced of Kalam's grasp of the constitution considering his handling of the Bihar crisis . Even the issue of clemency to Afzal Guru he let it hang with him for months together until it went back to the Courts .
I do not think Politicians should be barred from the post as they are also citizens of India and have every right to occupy that post .

what is the reason that president should not be given the second term, Politician gets a second and third term to become the CM and PM why only this separate rule for the President. After so many decades we are having a good and educated President, Politicans are citizens of India, but what have they done for the country, they have only made money, played with power. Today the situation is such that a honest citizen does not have a place of honour, they only want to wipe him out of the country. It is really sad to know the crime going on in our country.

Perhaps the present President has displeased Mdm Sonia Gandhi?
