Can We Afford to Stand and keep Swallowing our Disbelief’s??

Like Most of the Elections that happen in India even the Presidential Elections have been made a Mockery bringing to light the fact that none of the Political parties are really interested in the Overall Up-liftment of the Country.

As usual there was NO Consensus arrived about the Candidates contesting for the Presidential Elections.

The Moment it became evident that United Progressive Alliance was in No mood to consider Mr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam’s Extension as the President of India for the Second term, soon began the talks for the Next Presidential candidate. There were many Rumours Floating around with the names of the Big-Wigs of Congress making their Foray into the race. But No one would have imagined that UPA would ever consider Nominating Mrs. Pratibha Patil as their candidate even as the Congress leaders had No clue as to what made Mrs.Sonia Gandhi to play this Pawn.

One Reason may be the immediate replacement for Mr.Kalam from her Coterie of Congress shall be a person who is a well known Person & who can influence all the sections of the Political Fraternity. There were even Speculations of casting Mr.Pranab mukherjee or for that matter Mr.Shivraj patil was heading the list of Final Contenders for the Nominations.

But Mrs.Gandhi could not risk the Future of UPA by losing these Kingpins.

Around the same time NDA started to Extend their Hearty Wishes to Mr. Bhairon singh Shekhawat to aspire for the most Coveted Post.

This might have lit the spark for Mrs.Gandhi who felt that it was time for her to Spin the Wheel and there was an Overnight Decision to cast Mrs. Pratibha Patil , Branding UPA as an Ardent Follower of Promoting Non Male Chauvinist Society.

Amidst all these Theatrical developments our Most Respected Mr.Kalam was painted as a Person who was being very keen to continue his Tenure “Expressing his willingness to continue as President if there was a Certainity”. Little did Mr.Kalam Realise that he was being Puppeted by the UNPA(a batch comprising of LOST Chief Ministers who only wanted to make their Presence felt at a National Level by their Normal Act of Split Vote bank Politics).But it was a Wise Decision taken by Mr.Kalam to resist himself from the Front Run just days after he realised that this is going to become even murkier than imagined.

Now the Universal Truth is that UPA has the Majority of Votes to elect their Candidate as the President and NDA doesn’t have the Numbers to Make the Winds to Blow in their Direction then why the Hue and Cry about this . I think that the NDA is banking of Cross Voting by Putting them to taste the Deep troubled Waters.

And today the Plight of the person who is Contesting for the presidential polls has become even more Worse with the Contestents coming onto Stage and Saying “ I Don’t want to be a President who is a RUBBER STAMP but want to be a President with more Dignity and Decorum “. If this is the Dignity and Decorum that they promise to bring in as a President , I Doubt about the real Meaning of the Words Dignity and Decorum that they mean to ..

Iam not sure as to how many more New developments take place in this Presidential Elections Race and who will be the Next President of India ….Until then Keeping my Fingers Crossed this is Vamsi signing off to Stand and Swallow MY Disbeleif’s.
