The election was fought between two major candidates, A. P. J. Abdul Kalam and Lakshmi Sahgal.[1] Kalam was backed by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and its National Democratic Alliance. All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Telugu Desam Party and Bahujan Samaj Party also supported his candidature.[2] The major opposition party Indian National Congress, two days after the nomination, declared its support to Kalam's candidature.[3]
