i shall differ from the country perspective. He may be honest and a responsible man to his party but certainly not to the country. My dear friend this man is such a loyalist of congress that in 1983 under the leadership of his then master indira gandhi when he was the Finance Minister.. he produced the budget to the nation which suited the closed regime ...and now at the instruction of his new master ..he produced a so to say "open budget " that too screwing the Indian economy to such a level that every body nationally and internationally is shouting on the state of economy and for this loyalist of the Gandhi clan the rating agencies , the international economist, the industrialist etc are not judging the economy rightly !!!!!!! what on the earth makes him feel so ..... is he blind to see the suffering of the people.... or is he so loyal in the bhakti of his masters that he prefer to close eyes to the genuine voices in the industry....

He was for the matter a very good Politician ... a very good troubleshooter of congress.. I have no doubts on that and I must salute him for that quality. He certainly deserves appreciation there .

But my friend , we are talking on the forum of a very just website and Nation is first here... and when i view his contribution to the Nation ... its BIG ZERO !!! i may sound to be a pessimist ..be it so... See how many times he got elected in his total political career, check on his major achievements FOR THE COUNTRY by way of his work for all the 40 years he stayed in active politics "through backdoor". President position is now a reward by the congress to its loyalists... these are now positions for further constitutional use of political gains ..... when such learned people with no contribution to the country are heading to such a prestigious position, I wonder where we are sailing this great country to....

i totally agree and t do also feel agitated about it. I have always tried to contribute my bit and shall continue to do so as i go ahead. I fell happy that we have finally the emergence of social movements for the right cause but at the same time equally or more sad about the fact that these movements are not getting the kind of support they should get from the educated India. At the same time the political class is getting stronger and stronger as the evil in the night. Annaji and Ramdevji movements have to come togather and fight unitedly. We probably need to create more and more martyrs who will be ready to sacrifice for the cause in this non violent struggle. Coming back to the Pranab, I feel quite dejected and agitated by the fact that he is most likely winner of the presidential race. I only pray that conciousness prevails among the voting classes on the voting day.
