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!!!
