Mamata calls Jayalalithaa for support to Kalam; she says back Sangma instead

An isolated Mamata Banerjee is trying all that she can to garner support for APJ Abdul Kalam as President. The Trinamool Congress chief, on Sunday night, called up AIADMK boss and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, asking her to back Dr Kalam for the country's top job. Ms Jayalalithaa, however, asked Ms Banerjee to support former Lok Sabha speaker and NCP leader PA Sangma instead.
