Sangma: Kalam will not take risk to be president again

June 15, 2012 13:16

The decision on whether APJ Kalam will contest has been taken by two people -- PA Sangma and Mamata Banerjee.

When asked about Kalam's candidature, the NCP leader said that he felt that the former President will not enter the fray. "Kalam has been President once. He will not take such a risk," Sangma said.

Mamata on the other hand said reports that Kalam had said he will make the right decision at the right time, were incorrect. She said the Congress was putting "words in the reporters mouths" and that Kalam will contest.

For now, Kalam is lunching with Nitish Kumar in Patna.
