If we go by the way Left have named the two new Calcutta bridges - IshwarChandra VidyaSagar, & Sister Nivedita, one can sense that the Leftists have got their sense of values and sensibilities right.
They can be trusted to assist in making a right choice for Indian President.

how ridiculous can reasoning or unreasonableness get! Name two bridges and you can be trusted to one of the highest positions in the country? I can give you more than two good names for roads, bridges and airports, that certainly does not make me fit to run for president... or does it?

Concede, the logic is bit of a stretch! Naming bridges is not exactly the same as proposing a name for Prez!

We need a good President who can insulate the various Institutions of governance from politics of the day. There are implicit powers available within Constitution Structure which can be utilised by a competent Prez backed be vigilant Press to usher a healthy growth of all such institutions. Hence knowledge of Indian Constitution is a MUST as leftist insist.
But on their second constraint, being aloof from politics may be an advanatge.
