Presidential Elections - India's answer to 'Mr.Bean'

Time has gone when we were in all smiles after watching Rowan Atkinson's histrionics in 'Mr. Bean'. The Congress led UPA and BJP led NDA are trying their best to sketch out the Indian version of the 'Mr.Bean' in the name of Presidential Elections. I am really astonished with the ways that the Congress employs to bring an woman to the coveted throne. I will be delighted to have the first 'Rashtra-patni' of the country, provided the Indians respect women equally as they do with men hereafter. But thats a distant dream as of now. The 'Right for women' campaign will end as soon as the elections are over and Ms. Pratibha Patil will serve as the rubber-stamp for the UPA and a messenger to UPA if the government changes.
Ok..Lets leave everything aside. Does Ms.Patil have the qualities that a presidential candidate should possess? I really have a doubt. Even when she was in Chennai last week to flag off her election compaign, Ms. Jayanthi Natarajan was on special duty to have Ms. Patil's mouth shut- A clear view on the scenario thats bound to happen for the next five years. It was learnt later that it was to prevent Ms. Patil from answering the media when she is questioned on the recent corruption charges.
How will NDA allow UPA to steal the show? NDA has tried its own methods to join the party. They have been questioning Ms.Patil's contribution to the country's causes for a while. I will be happy to know if they have a better candidate. Their answer for this is 'Bhairon Singh Sekhawat', a deputy rubber-stamp till date. Dont you guys have any better jobs to do? Is electing a president too has become a part of the dirty politics you do everyday? There are lot of issues which are happening other than this. The Cauvery issue is getting worse day by day, China has claimed that Arunachal Pradesh is their's. But nobody cares.. All they need is to get their own rubber-stamp to the seat and have a smooth run. Long live demo'crazy'.
P.S: The Presidential Election is scheduled for 18th of July. Mr.Bean is being telecast in Pogo Channel everyday at 16.30, 20.30, 23.00 hrs.
Jai Hind!!!
