Shekhavat and Kalam (if contests) will lose to Pratibha Tai Patil in the number game. So better withdraw your nominations gracefully. Shekhawat will lose marginally and Kalam with his deposit.
It is indeed shameful that so called hypothetical intellectuals (or illiterates?) could not digest the fact that a women of substance from rural India is becoming the first President are opposting her candidature on the petty grounds of gender, domicile, age etc. etc. etc.
Lets look in positive perspective and welcome Pratibha Tai as the future president. She is none but a diamond chosen from the series of Coal Mines and the nation will shine under her Presidential regime.
