Madame Pratibha%u2019s Credentials that make her deserve to be President of India.
There is a Card game called `BLUFF%u2019. This has several variation one of which was played by Indian National Congress and the Leftists recently when they set out to identify a candidate to be propped up to succeed Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. Leftists entered the game with the sole aim of vetoing or `trumping%u2019 as known in the card game be it Shivaraj Patil, Sishil Kumar Shinde, Karan Singh or AK Antony, X, Y or Z. The Master Card which they expected Congress to play ie Pranab Kumar Mukherjee, was not played by Congress as that would have resulted in dummy reversal and counter trumping much to the joy of the Leftists. After much cross trumping and interpolations by DMK, BSP and NCP, Congress hit upon the stealthy route ie `scape carding%u2019 as they say at the card table, by inserting the Joker card ie. Madame Pratibha Patil. Communists squealed a bit on Madam Nirmala Deshpande. Congress cannot stand her name even for a Municipal Councilor because of her moral uprightness and uncomfortable conscience which are too uncomfortable to be put up by Madam Sonia Gandhi. The one and only rule that guided Congress, its allies like DMK, BSP, NCP and RJD and the Leftists is that Dr Kalam should not at all have a second term. That is how they showed their respect to an internationally renowned scientist who, against all odds, made India truly Nuclear Power and made every Indian feel proud.
