Finally a 72 year-old dadima is all set to become the first woman president of India. I am still wondering whether I should accept this occurrence as Sonia Ji's mental sickness or height of sycophancy of congressmen. I have got one more reason to wonder. Why didn't Sonia Gandhi choose her very daughter, Priyanka, to be the next president – the woman one. I am not talking about Rahul. First reason is that he is not a woman, and the second, he has been toiling hard in UP election, and is being seen by congress apple-polishers as perfect fit for future prime minister's frame.
No pun now. Give a pat to the super lady of India, Mananiya Sonia Gandhi for choosing a lady having vast experience of being a low profile blunt political knife. It seems, to hold high post in the country, the main eligibility is to please Sonia Maino (Arre, didn't you know it is the real name of our Sonia Gandhi Ji?). And see the flattery of Congressmen. When the meeting of CWC (Congress Working Committee) was going on, Sonia Ji proposed the name of Pratibha Patil for Presidential candidature. Not to surprise, the proposal was accepted anonymously, which was later green-signaled by Left parties and other UPA allies.
I have nothing against Congress. Nor am I against accepting a woman president. Being an Indian, I am proud having a woman ruler like Indira Gandhi, who lined herself with powerful leaders of the world. It is true, this new to-be woman president, Pratibha Patil always stood the congress-way (even during the emergency, this lady was with Indira Ji). But, it doesn't mean that person who is more capable of being a president has to be sidelined by a lady, who is too submissive to disobey her party.
A president has to have a vision for the country. He or she has to be a figure of high dignity. And when you are talking about vision and dignity, none can surpass the outgoing president, A P J Abdul Kalam. Important to add, a report suggests that women legislature and parliament members of India will prefer Kalam to anybody else in presidential fray to be the next president. It is astonishing that none of the UPA member stirred to agree upon making him again the next president, when third front spoke about continuing Kalam.
Instead of showing a false flattery towards woman, UPA ought to pass the Woman Reservation Bill, which has biggest obstacle in its way; and ironically it is called UPA. Recently, BJP seems to be agreed upon proposing 33% reservation in his party. Taking similar steps by other parties will be an escalating step to improve the image as well as condition of woman in the country. Instead of fake glorification of woman, UPA, the ruling political party should try to ameliorate the woman's condition in grassroots level.
If you want to gift them something, give them power. The power of execution, which was bestowed on Indira Gandhi. Not the deeper sense of gratitude, which our new 'rubber-stamp' president will be burdened with for next five years
