Kaun Banega Next Prez

[Guest]

The situation is getting ridiculous with this third front. Do they know it is in their best interest that they vote for shekhawat? Either they are play-acting and would finally end-up voting for shekhawat or are really dumb and want to abstain or get a candidate of their own. one month is a short period to grow a brain.

New Delhi: There are now reports of a split in the United National Progressive Alliance or the Third Front over the Presidential elections.

<b>The Telugu Desam Party, the INLD and the Samajwadi Party have decided to abstain from voting in the presidential elections, sources told CNN-IBN.</b>

The three parties have reportedly conveyed their decision to NDA leaders.

<b>The AIADMK and the AGP, on the other hand, are in favour of putting up a separate Third Front candidate.</b>

Last week, the Third Front had decided to call their alliance the United National Progressive Alliance and wanted the incumbent President A P J Kalam to contest in the Presidential elections.

The UNPA allies tried to coax a reluctant President though Kalam had made it clear that he was not interested if there was no political consensus on the issue.

Following that, on Friday, President Kalam announced he would not run for a second term in office “in the current scenario” because he did not want the Rashtrapati Bhavan to become involved in a political process.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
