Non Political President!

I have my doubts, while it comes to getting support Congress is tactful enough to get it in the name of democracy, anti BJP sentiments and stability. They will manage a candidate of their own choice.

I think the Congress Party has been playing an insincere game in the name of consensus. The fact remains that the party is yet to find its candidate and then get him or her approved by its allies!

Sharad Pawar favors non political President. Is this not funny. President performs political functions. Why should the incumbent be non political?
If so, why not non political ministers, parliamentarians and legislators?

I suppose he means not affiliated to any other party except his own :laugh: .Presidents have been rubber stamps used by the party at the central ladership, so there can never be a president who is non political...

Okay. President job is political one and so the incumbent has to be politicians. As regards rubber stamp president, this is because as long as the government enjoys majority, President can act only on advice of union cabinet and not otherwise. But President has a greater role when no party or alliance has visibly clear majority. Such situation may arise after next Lok Sabha elections. Then President's role will be crucial. That is why Congress/ UPA want a President, safe for them.

The Congress Party seems to be in tied in all kinds of knots over its choice. The Party is looking for a 'safe' candidate who can take care of its interests in the scenario emerging after 2014 Parliamentary elections!

BJP or NDA may not agree to congress choice of 'safe' candidate for obvious reason. So, there may be a tough Presidential election.

Congress party has always believed in power games, and NDA not as experienced as the Congress party in such political games is also edging towards the same...I am sure that finally it will be Madam who will select the president of her choice !

They have fixed every thing, there should be no doubt about it that political carrier of Pronob Mukerjee is going to end now as he shall be the net president of India. Mammta and Akhilesh are trying to milk the cow in return of support to congress. Suits them fine.

Pranab Mukherjee is front runner for President but other names are also emerging. There is suspense till the candidature finalized.

It looks like Pranab Mukherjee emerging as the UPA's choice with whatever talks with Mamata indicate!

Now the presidential candidature is getting bizarre. Mamata Banerjee and Mulayam singh rejected the candidature of Hamid Ansari as well as Pranab Mukherjee.

Instead the duo have suggested candidature of (1) Abul Kalam (2) Manmohan singh (3) Som Nath Chatterjee

Abul Kalam is clealy unacceptable to congress. Manmohan singh is Prime Minister and his candidature will need swearing in another P.M. This very process may bring uncertainty as UPA partners especially Mamata and may be Mulayam also create more trouble and chaos. The name of expelled C.P.I(M) leader is obviously included to tease the left.

Now this is number game and we can hardly expect any understanding in U.P.A. There is also not much time left as dates of election have been announced.

Yes,things have taken an interesting turn with two Ms openly challenging Congress's game-plan!

Now Manmohan is in line as well, Mamta says Kalam, Somnath or Manmohan would be right choice for the post.

In my Opinion Somnath has a better chance this Time.............

This time also I think BJP has no chance to come in to rulling in national wise.

I feel that congress has no chance to come in to ruling and ys congress will be the highlet in the Andhra Pradesh

When it come to whole India.Congress play a miracle role at that Stage.Might be Congress This Time too............

Yes last time also no one thought that congress will come in to ruling.

I shall be very surprised if they can do it again, rare chances.

Now Manmohan is in line as well, Mamta says Kalam, Somnath or Manmohan would be right choice for the post.

Manmohan singh is not in line. He is Prime Minister and will not be President just because Trinmool propsed his name mischievously.

Now the people had changed their minds congress had one only two places in our state.

As soon as one is elected to the post he becomes non political, whether he likes or not.
