this is the history of Congress that they always prefered rubber stamp and yesman President except the first President Dr. Rajendra Prasad. Congress always ignore the opposition in finding a suitable and acceptable to all a President . It was NDA who did not impose its candidate and Kalam emerged as one of the best president ever India has seen.
and even if the charges against Pratibha found to be false why Congress not consulting and negotiating the opposition in finding a consensus candidate rather than imposing a rubber stamp and yesman on the highest post.
