Kalam wants Narayana Murthy as prez. Do you?
by hemant atul parulekar on Apr 09, 2007 12:23 PM

Nay...never... We have had enough of such meritocrats and academicians donning the post of the President of the Union of India who also happens to be the supreme commander of the three armed forces.

We do not want an IT honcho to take over as our next Prez. What are Mr. NRNs credentials as a politician. What is the guarantee that he will not exploit his position to expand his business. After all he owns and runs a profit making enterprise.

APJ is a rocket scientist of immense repute and we all acknowledge that fact but in his tenure as a prez he failed miserably. Are the president's duties only limited to delivering mundane lectures to groups of students from some elite institutions? I question APJs stand on U.P., Bihar, J&K and the clemency issue of Mohammad Afzal.



Also does our constitution allow an incumbent president to name his successor?



Mr.Murthy is not at all worthty enough to adorn the position the president of the Union of India. After all he is just an enterprenaur like so many others in the country. Have we forgotten how he messed up with the IIMs, a classic example of his egoistic attitude.



We need a president who will use his powers to keep a check over national governence instead someone who wasted his term in deivering monotonous lectures to children, IITians and Anna University...
