Letters Presidential elections
No occasion post-Independence has raised such a hue and cry as is now being witnessed for the nominations to the Presidential office. Apparently, the anti-incumbency factor did fructify owing to President K. R. Narayanan's unrestrained opinions on the crisis in Gujarat after the Sabarmati carnage. While the choice of Vice-President, Mr Krishan Kant, as a presidential nominee is also on the cards to test India's political pulse, the CPI(M)'s decision to field Dr Lakshmi Sehgal, supported by a meagre 10 per cent of the subcontinent, brings needless controversy into an already uncertain environment.

Abdul Kalam's candidature could go far in shaping the country's character. N. Vijayaraghavan Chennai
