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.

Political parties get their votes based on their share in Electoral College which consists of State MLA and MPs. The bigger state MLAs has more weigtage compared to smaller state MLAs.

I think Kalam is the best name of President and most of Indians want to see Kalam as President

Ashish Kumar - Gurgaon
Dr. Abdul Kalam would be a best choice

Mohan Rose Ali - Chidambaram
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.
