START A FRESH DEBATE ON THIS ISSUE: As per our consitution, these top posts, President and Vice President are the only posts where direct Indian's cannot elect its on candidates. Even after first 10 years of India's socalled democratic rules, we are adopting/negating basic constitutional rules for giving ministries to the elected members/electing members to various councils. For Lok Sabha, we are electing members directly and on the basis of the majority members, Govt. is formed. But for Rajya Sabha, is was not meant for age old poiliticans or failed politicans in Loka Sabha Elections, but it is meant for the greatest scholars/intellectauls from different walks of the country and the candidates are being elected from the State MLAs and MLCs. What happenes here in India is very much disturbing and Political Parties irrespective of the ruling or opposition are misleading Indian Public and not accepting the constituional norms. Looking into the same norms, the President and Vice President are elected by the elected Members and these two posts should be gone to unpolitical leaders. However, if at all, somebody needs political pundits/leaders, it should be made on CONCENSUS basis as people have no rights to elect them directly and as we are claiming as Democratic country, we should take always people's choice first. If present attitutde is being continued, then IT IS BETTER TO MAKE THESE ELECTIONS DIRECTLY FROM INDIAN PUBLIC AND every 5 years, Public elects their choice for these
