The most apt person who
deserves to occupy Raisina Hills is former President, the missile man Dr. APJ
Abdul Kalam, who hit India’s wagon of glory to a star. This is not a one-off
opinion but the opinion of majority people of India. It is a sorry portrait to
see that politicians need their pal to occupy at Rashtrapati Bahavan.
The Opposition NDA and the Left should not allow the Congress to elect
unopposed their candidate. If so what is fun in saying a creative Opposition. They
should field their own candidate or should support Dr Kalam. An atmosphere for
open election without party whip should be created and the MPs and MLAs should
be asked to vote at their judgment. Then
one could see who would be elected, Dr Kalam or Pranab Mukherji.
At least in one aspect Kalam
would not expend abundantly from state exchequer for foreign trips as his
family is very small consisting of himself and two suitcases. The politicians of India losing trustworthiness
among common man could sensibly save their face by electing Dr Kalam as next
President of India.
