NDA, Mamata jolted as Kalam keeps off poll
New Delhi, June 18, 2012, DHNS:
BJP may back Sangma for President; TMC may abstain
Former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Monday opted out of the presidential election after studying the "totality" of the situation, dealing a blow to the BJP and Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee who badly wanted him to take on Pranab Mukherjee.

The BJP has an uphill task to convince its NDA partners to accept Sangma’s candidature. Sangma has been propped up by Biju Janata Dal leader and Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik and his Tamil Nadu counterpart J Jayalalitha.
