For the Love of Presidential Suite

       The game of thrones which was limited to the HBO feature has been turned into a real life incident, thanks to nature of Indian Political run for the presidential 10 bedroom Suite with lead chracters like Mamta Banerjee, Mulayam Singh, LK Advani and the rest of BJP, Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh too. Surprisingly the Left parties which were almost on the verge of extinction has started to play some role into this.
         The List of Candidates is even more surprising. Pranab Mukherjee who has been in the spotlight of Indian politics for the past two years, APJ Abdul Kalam who had a great start in his previous run but had been subdued to the political pressure of congress and its allies and ended up becoming a scapegoat, and the rest are as unmemorable as it gets.
         My desire is not to make a parody of the presidential election, but i want a person who is all powerful in the Indian state of politics. The immediate names that come to my mind are Mamta Banerjee, Sonia Gandhi or Anna Hazare(he just might get a heart attack after hearing this). A president should be a individual who should be able to dominate terms and not be subdued. I would prefer a dictatorial authority for the post of President of India, and not just some person who is there to enjoy the luxuries of 10 bedroom Presidential Suite.

P.S. This article was written yesterday.......Latest news is Pranabda is the new "President of India"
