Prathiba Patil has considerably lowered the dignity of the President by repeatedly talking rubbish. Of course, India suffers from one of the worst infrastructures in the world. However, the problem is not the engineering solutions. The technical and engineering solutions were available even before any IIT was set up. The basic issue relates to corruption which plagues our political and bureaucratic class. More money is spent in erecting statues than in flood control measures. The best thing that Pratibha Patil can do is to resign and go away.If she shamelessly wants to continue as President, the least she can do is avoid giving lectures to students who are getting their degree by their efforts and not by bribing someone.
