Mamta finally campaigns on Facebook for Kalam

In order to take the campaign for supporting APJ Abdul Kalam for President race a step ahead, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee has finally taken the help of popular social networking site Facebook.

Addressing to the common people, Mamta has appealed millions of Indian through a post her official Facebook page to support the campaign for the candidature of APJ Abdul Kalam for President.

Mamta had jointly recommended the name Kalam for President with SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav but later the SP chief took out his support and supported to Pranab Mukherjee, leaving the TMC chief alone.

Earlier, Mamta also urged APJ Abdul Kalam to contest for the President election quoting him as most suitable candidate for President post.

In a letter to Dr. Kalam on her official Facebook page she pointed 10 points for what makes him the most suitable for the post. The points included:

• You are the only person who has taught the youth of the country how to work for the country. It is your duty to see that they continue to do the same.
• The nation needs you for your scholastics abilities displayed at the highest level. India stands protected from foreign forces just because of you. It is your duty to see that the same continues.
• Had our country had a system, where citizens elects president, it would have been you and only you.
• Corruption in rampant across all political parties. The ongoing drama for the president’s seat is nothing short of threatening (CBI cases) and horse trading. It is your duty to come forward and put an end to the menace.
• Huge amount of black money are stacked in foreign banks. It is your duty to bring that back to India.
• B R Ambedkar had made the constitution of India some 60 years back. It is your duty to tell the people of India this needs a change with change in time. India needs a very strong man and an honest man at the top most post of the country.
• The economy is in doldrums. We have now come to the verge of taking IMF loans. (God forbid, this is likely to be true in next two years). It is your duty to see that such things do not take place.
• Politicians have now come to levels of dividing the country on state to state basis (Bengali, Bihari etc etc). It is your duty to show there that there is only one India and only one nation.
• The planning commission has stated that a BPL line. No one knows how they come to such numbers. It is your duty to erase any line called BPL.
• The IIP numbers are a dismal month after month. A common man is hardly worried about it. Yet in the long run they suffer. They are unaware of the reason of their suffering. It is your duty to see that such suffering does not take place.
