Yes it is really stupid of our political system that it is electoral college consisting of MPs and MLAs who elects the President and not the people who elect those Mps and MLAs.Despite the clear indication from SMS polls conducted by various media channels that Mr. Kalam is the popular choice,still there are better prospects for Ms Patil from congress as the she enjoys better support from politicians mainly from congress.What one can expect from her? Will she be able to perform as per the expectation.Being from congress,she will be under pressure from UPA government to act as a puppet.Clearly it is a number game instead of popular choice as reflected by mass population.It is not a healthy sign for a democratic country like india.It is the high time to change the election process to compensate for the above indiscripancy.
