Mr Narayan Murthy has been a trend setter, a successful businessman and his stocks today dictate the Sensex and Nifty. But does that really mean that he would be great as the President.
The President of India should be a statesman...well versed in Indian politics and a man of eminence, not necessarily eminence commanded by wealth and business success. If successful business persons and film actors are good for Presidentship, the JRD Tata should have qualified long ago. There is no one who comes closer to him, even today.
I feel its all a trumpeted Public Relations exercise with PR Companies busy posting these kind of news items on the net, television and newspaper.
Why dont we have someone who has worked with people at grass roots level. Someone whom Bharat can identify...Mr Narayan Murthy symbolises India, and thereby lies the danger. Has Bharat lost all significance.
