Yes, Sonia suggested Pratibha's name & she made sure that Pratibha wins in spite of the desparate & dirty campaign by the helpless BJP bandwagon.
No party had the guts to field a woman for President's post. Sonia did that. Pratibha is a capable woman, no matter what the BJP vomits every day. Foul mouths cannot do any better. Vajpayee daydreamed that he will take away UPA votes. Sonia by her degnified silence & civilized strategies took away NDA votes! Even some BJP guys voted for Pratibha.
Many souls infected by anti-Gandhi fever will shout, pull their heirs & tear off their clothes. Can't help it boys! Please grow up & learn to accept reality. Come out of the cyber-space & look into the real-space called India. You will see what anger people have against BJP, RSS & the English educated half-mad middle class!
Sonia ignores the cyber-space & looks into the real-space call India. Thats the secret of her success. English educated Vidwan hot heads will find it difficult to digest. But thats reality!
Cool down boys. Push the disappointment down the throat with a sip of visky.

Good Rhetoric Mind my words - A foreigner will always remain foreigner , You may give phyrric answers but that cannot stay from truth. Being a die hard is Good but remember 'Watan ki Fikar Kar Nadaan" It is people like you who give foreiners and Co-operative bank cheaters a legitimacy with powerful arguments. Remember in Mahabharata -Duryodan was all powerful and people like Bhishma Pitamah kept silent when Draupadi was being bereft of her clothes. This is happening to India.

If its rhetoric, be it so. Majority of this country is not fooled by rhetoric, even if Indira or Vajpayee indulge in it.
If a foreigner remains a foreigner always, then all Indians are foreigners. Man migrated to various parts of world from Africa!
Aapko watan ki kitani fikar hai ye ham janate hai! Your Watan is your own cozy home & its drawing room.
People like us see both sides, write a balance sheet & then choose a less harmful alternative. We do listen to those charges of corruption on Pratibha but we also listen to the charges of corruption against Shekhawat.
As for Mahabharata, Duryodhan & Dushasan .... well, we donot live in history, neither we equate life to myths!

Yes, we think that Man migrated to various to various parts. Because we are matured. But when Sonia becomes Prime Minister, the people from Italy and from other countries will be making fun of us. Then you go and lecture to those people.

Doesn't seem you are matured. The Americans have no probmlem with Indians staying there & winning elections there! Because they are not scared. They have self confidence. What shakes your confidence? Why are you so scared of one woman called Sonia? Answer : you donot have a leader of your liking who is as tall as her! That is a painful fact!

what's the big deal in having a woman president?? we have already had a woman PM more than once, and a good one at that. The question here is - Indira had stature..the country was proud to have such a decisive PM. Pratibha is a non-entity... and a corrupt one at that. The congress could definitely have come up with a better woman candidate. The whole problem is that Sonia does not want a capable person as president...congress or non-congress is not the issue.

You are wrong dear! When India threw her hat in for PM's post, she was rediculed in the same way. When India became PM, she was called a "Gungi Gudia" & non-entity by your beloved opposition leaders. Subsequently Indira proved herself & gained stature.
AND PRATIBHA WILL PROVE HERESELF! IF SPITE OF YOUR REDICULE!

I wonder why didn't bother to check your facts before putting the comments in favour of Gandhi family. Well, Sonia didn't have had the guts, it was Left who had asked for a woman candidate. Try to recall AB Bardhan of CPI in Devil's advocate, advocating a woman president. Remembers whos tood against Kalam in last election. Now, who could have thought that CPI leader proposing a woman candidate in Devil's advocate would actually make the Gandhi family put up a candidate with Devilish Record, so that the family can control both PM and President. Afterall last time around it may have been president who stopped the Congress president from becoming PM. Anyway we know the record of Gandhi family in last 60 years. We are one of the most corrupt society with a huge huge chunck of population in BPL. Whatever good we have because of Indian sans the Gandhi family. Though must credit Rajiv Gandhi for some acts like focussing on technology. But this generation of Gandhi family has hardly done anything good. The man who could have done good our PM, is also remote controlled by the 'Family'. The president who was doing well was not be given second chance. Going back we can see real radical progress India made was after 1991 under Non-Gandhi family PM's be it from Congress or NDA. Now we are making half-progress as we have a half-PM from Non-congress family. Can Pratibha Patel do a Frankenstein and for nations shake, disown the Gandhi Family ? Atleast this can make her look better than wha

Dear Ram,
Check the result from Andhra Pradesh. The result speaks for itself.
"She ( Mrs. Patil ) bagged 223 votes in Andhra Pradesh, while her NDA-backed independent rival Bhairon Singh Shekhawat got two votes from the BJP. The value of an MLA's vote differs from state to state. In Andhra Pradesh, each vote has a value of 148."

Off Course man....more votes will come from AP, because it is not public participating elections. All the votes will be from the so called crooks in Assembly.
