Couple more reasons I can think of :
- After May '04 Lok Sabha elections, President Kalam didn't roll over when SG led the delegation to form govt at center. Remember SG's 'inner voice' chirping in her ears (where the hell that's gone these days)
- Remember the ordinance that UPA was to be passed off on the 'for-profit-office-holders' issue? A weak President in bed with UPA bosses would have seen that SG did not have to quit her LS seat and recontest from Rae Bareilly.
- President Kalam did go by the book on some close elections, such as the hung assembly in Bihar (the initial elections before Nitish govt finally made it in), the Jarkhand assemly elections where NDA partners had to travel in icognito to center to prove their majority
