Presidential poll - The arithmetic Here is a look at numbers which are required for a candidate to become President of India.

  • Total number of votes (5,49,408 of MPs and 5,49,474 of MLAs): 10, 98, 882

  • Minimum votes required for President to be elected: 5,49,442

    Alliance wise position:

    UPA

  • Total Votes: 4,60,191 (42%, including TMC)

  • Congress: 3,30,485

    The votes with three crucial UPA allies are

  • TMC: 48,049

  • SP: 68, 812

  • BSP: 43,349

    Possible equations:

  • UPA - TMC: 412142

  • UPA + SP: 529003

  • UPA - SP: 391379

    Even if UPA goes without Mamata and with Mulayam and Mayawati, the numbers are: UPA - TMC + SP + BSP: 524303. The figure is still below the magic figure of 5,49,442.

    NDA

  • Total Votes: 304,785 (28%)

  • BJP: 2,23,885

    NON-UPA, NON-NDA

  • Total Votes: 2,62,408 (24%)

    Crucial Votes

  • SP + BSP + TMC : 68,812+ 43,349+ 48,049

    UPA'S vote share: 4,49,133

  • Congress: 330405

  • TMC: 45925

  • Magic Figure: 549442

  • UPA + RJD + SP + BSP: (49,133 + 10,350 + 66,688 + 45,473)

  • Magic Figure: 549442

    NDA'S vote Share: 3,04,785

  • Short by 2,44,657 votes

  • Magic Figure: 549442

    As the situation stands none of the existing alliances have majority to elect its candidate.

    i also wanted to see mr kalam as president but then i realised mr kalam has already added value possible ways in one term and therefore others may be given a chance to add value. i thought of mr narayanan murthy who started off from a humble background and played crucial role in flourishing software industry in india which today is the most important export industry. he is finest entrepreneur india has produced. mr pranab should work as finance minister as our economy is stagnating rather rather feeding ego by sitting idle as president.

    Dear Sir, It is disturbing to see the political development in our Country about President Election. I do not wish to blame any one political parties or leaders though all know about it. How can we as a Nation progress in this World of Competition if our leaders behve like this. In the Circumstances I fel all political parties irrespective of any parties should agree for one candidate and there should be no election. Dr Sam Pitroda is one person who has done so much for our Country and he is a well deserved Candidate for President Post. Why not it be given in your News Channel this idea for the interest of our Country. Thanking you.

    Mr. Sam G. Pitroda would easily be an agreeable candidate of choice for both Madam Mamta Banerjee and Mr. Mulayam Singh, and he could easily win the consensus of the Opposition Party too amidst winning the confidence of the allies of the ruling front.

    Mr. Pranab Mukherjee is already a failure as a finance minister as his tenure witnessed at it`s worst the devaluation of Indian Currency and hence Indian economic scenario in every aspects and avenues besides a chaotic environment of frequent fuel price hikes, short sighted fiscal policies on energy and power issues, unwanted austerity measures, and a steep rise in the prices of essential commodities making the worst nightmare for the Indian populace at large. The nation may be heading to bankruptcy like Greece, if he continues as Finance Minister further. Obviously his choice is ruled out for the top job of the country which requires elite adornment by truly successful and popularly consensual, and best performing persona of the stature and the like of the Ex-President Dr. APJ Abdhul Kalam given the prevailing conditions of nuclear conflicts in the world scenario, in political, economic, and social situations.
