    It's better that Dr.Abdul Kalam not to contest because earlier it was through cheap poltics to get minority votes made him as president, whole nation has respect to this perosnality being scientist. Earlier it was whole drama by two old showing india shining but real citizens of india were aware they knew everything even in invasion of half trained extremists from kargil, Mushraff's Agra visit & export sugar and free entry through bus in border of pakistan.
