	The Hindu : Decked-up Kuppam awaits Kalam
		Kuppam, the VIP constituency of the Chief Minister, N.

Abdul Kalam, the Governor, S.S. Barnala, and the Chief Minister himself.

		It would indeed be a momentous occasion for Kuppam when it would have on its soil the first citizen of the country-- the President and the Governor and the Chief Minister besides scores of Ministers and top political and Government functionaries.
