Ms Alva is a South Indian,Christian, Lady,who has distingushed hereself by handling various ministrial as well as congress organisational activities. Also she had handled Rajya Sabha Speaker, apreaciated by Opposition parties. She is quite known lady among Indian polititions. She is hailing from politically known family of Jokim and Margarit Alva, quite close to Nehru and Mrs Indira Gandhi. Her Children are also known in their choosen field, without misusing Mummy's Name.

We had Hindu Brahmin- Both South &North;Sikh, Muslim-Central,North East & South., but all male. No one from Christian religion as well as Women. Secondly, South President means , Prime minister from North if coalition politics continues. Christian tag obviously a disadvantage for Mrs Alva as normally both president and PM cannot belong to same group in prevaling situation,

Yes, She is the best choice, if this time the post is reserved for women. Christian but with the tredition of a Hindu, and simple not only in her life but also in making a point. Let a Christian be given a chance, when the turns of Hindu, Muslim and Sihks are over. As APJ inspired the nation but for his faith, let us have presidents from all faiths. As the PM always goign to be either from the majority or the atheist group
I think if all people and politicians agree sonia wants make her son as president.I feel sonia gandhi thinks entire india depends and lives on her family.Shame on congress. still people voting for congress very shame. where we are? In which century ? are we in 10 or 11 century. I dont think india have a solid Prime Minister. Manmohan is human doll who plays according to sonia's tunes. People! wake up and realise where you are going?
Trash the congress party and lets welcome a party which rules country without partiality and honestly.Dont entertain congress anymore. Congress is really a curse to India. No doubt.Congress Curse to India.

You are 100% right mate, we are sick of congress. A new party should emerge and a dinamic candidate should be our next prime minister.

arre bhai, this is not true. rahul abhi president ban jayega toh khane kamane ka mauka kidhar milega usko ??
It will be a sad day to see someone regarded affectionately as "Sonia's Foremost Bootlicker" being our nation's President. Absolutely uncharismatic, a complete failure as LS Speaker and Home Minister, kicked out from his own constituency, and a career with nothing more illustrious than postings he received out of sycophancy.
I hope he is defeated by Bharion Shekhawat. Mr. Shekhawat is respected across the political spectrum and has been an excellent, non-biased Vice-President. What would Shivraj Patil do in case of a hung Parliament next time? Go straight to Soniamataji's residence and ask her instruction!!!
