Super sycophant becomes
India’s president
Today we have a new president In Pranab Mukerjee. Mr. Mukerjee has been a political top brass
for over forty years and has held most of the top ministerial posts whenever
the congress party has been in power which is most number of years since
independence. Arguably most intelligent, well informed and friendly, Mr.
Mukerjee has seen the congress led government through many a tough time. At one
time or the other he has bailed out most of the top brass in our country’s
ruling elite both in politics and industry and here lies his popularity and it
came as no surprise to me that he won.
Nehru Gandhi [not Mohan das] family has had many articulate,
intelligent, hard working and personally honest men who served them and
continue to serve them. Pranab Mukerjee heads the list. From the Bofors scandal
to the black money hoarders abroad he was and is instrumental in protecting the
guilty. That he does all this under the garb of stability cuts no ice with many
an honest person who has watched the politics and businesses of this nation
over the past forty years. There are others like him, A.K.Antony and Jairam
Ramesh who I suspect will serve the royal family with the same zest and
reverence as Pranabda did.
Now freed from the shackles of politics and servitude, will
Pranabda put his undoubted good qualities to serve the nation instead of
serving the Family?

~ I fully agree with you.
The "real" story behind Pranab Mukherjee's nomination for President's post, doing rounds is that when Pranab Mukherjee was informed by the secretary of Ms Sonia Gandhi that there would be an alternative to choose from for President ~ Pranab or Ansari ~ Pranab Mukherjee asked why was no alternative was there when the Prime Minister was chosen; and had said that in any case he would be resigning soon. That changed the whole equation.
Since the time his Mentor, Indira Gandhi, was killed and Pranab Mukherjee had opined that the second in command in the Govt should be made the PM, Nehru-Gandhi Family does not fully trust him inspite of his services to the family and the party.
I also hope that in the post 2014 chaos that the country would face about formation of a Govt., President Pranab would act above party and family loyalty to be remembered as someone who also has done some valuable things for India.
After all, after 5 years of Presidency he will have nothing more to achieve being loyal to Nehru-Gandhi Family.
