People want Abdul Kalam as Indian President

In the IBN-Express opinion poll, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam emerged as front runner in the race for Rashtrapati Bhavan. This poll was conducted on more than 3.4 lakh online voters over the last 15 days. People seem to want non-political person like Abdul Kalam as next India president. But Sonia Gandhi may want his dummy as next Indian president.

Abdul Kalam is the clear winner with 43% votes (1.46 lakh votes) while vice-president Bhairon Singh Shekhawat came second with 30% votes. Infosys mentor N.R. Narayana Murthy came third with 18% votes.

Surprise of the poll is Sonia Gandhi’s choice Pranab Mukherjee got 1.3% votes only. Amitab Bachchan fared poorly with 1.45% votes.

But in India, political leaders rarely respect people’s opinion. As long as we have ignorant leaders like Sonia Gandhi, people should not expect better things. We saw these dirty politics in electing Indian president in Indira gandhi days, now in her daughter-in-law days. May her choice become another Fakhruddin-Ali and pay gratitude in the crucial time.

Bye! Bye! Kalam.
