The worst president of India

I have never been fond of any President of India until Dr. Abdul Kalam showed up. The first acting president I recall was Shankar Dayal Sharma. I vaguely recall that guy incapable of staying awake / addressing the nation in a slow monotonous speech on Republic Day and sitting on couches back down (from what ever televised images were available). The titular head designation is the prime reason for impotence on the President of India. However the problem with the Presidents role starts with the constitution. The politicians themselves are responsible for the appointment and hence a puppet is what generally gets installed in the Rashtrapari Bhavan, So when the possibility of T N Seshan running for the President arose a few years ago politicians all in unison opposed the nominations.

Getting back to the topic of the worst president I will say she makes Dr Shankar Dayal Sharma standout like a bright shining star – she is none other than our current President Pratibha Patil. The first woman president title should have made Indian women proud and adore her but I believe she disgusts them no end. She is one person who doesn’t make me a proud Maharashtrian. Her scandals make the mafia look like good Samaritans:
 Protecting a murderer that is her brother
 Frauds in the bank that her family founder
 Drug trafficking and more loand frauds in her sugar factory

and the list can go on and on……

Sonia Gandhi was the one who proposed Patils nomination and is the prime reason for Indias sad image on world stage. I hear Patils got an invitation to the Royal wedding. I fear what account of India she might present on world stage.
