Currently the default pivot point for rotating the labels on the XAxis is the center of the label itself. Add the ability to change the pivot point to be the first symbol of the label.
For the time being the property can be set via the kendo object (http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/chart#configuration-categoryAxis.labels.rotation.align):
		<script>
			function load(chart) {
				var align = "end"; //"center"
					chart.get_kendoWidget().setOptions({ categoryAxis: { labels: { rotation: { angle:45, align: align } } } });
			}
		</script>
