This is a highly communal choice. On the one hand they have not given yet another term for the best president in Mr.Kalam. They have chosen a poor quality candidate in Mrs.Patil. Great disservice to the nation.
The choice of the candidate for VP clearly shows Congress and its partners like the Left are highly and really communal in nature. They thought a particular section of the population could have been angry because of their refusal for a second term to Mr.Kalam. Therefore, in order appease them, they have zeroed in on this particular candidate.
Now people can easily see through who is really communal and who is not.
