What can youexpect from this chamchi Prathiba patil It was shocking to see the picture of attendants helping President Pratibha Patil and her husband to wear their footwear during recent visit to Hampi Bangalore. Do they need help to do this simple job? What sort of democratic spirit is Pratibha conveying through this? I would never have imagined that such indignity would be heaped on citizens of independent India where they have to “assist” fellow citizens to wear their footwears. Like the practice of including the maximum number of security guards along with them, the practice of having their footwear assistants accompany them may become another status symbol among our leaders! Our netas are worse than the royal brigade of yesteryears in shamelessly using the servants for such simple errands. What a contrast to her illustrious predecessors!
