What a sorry state of affairs we are witnessing in our country's (India) presidential elections scheduled for next month.
I cannot fathom the fact that the so called elected representatives in our polity are playing bitter partisan politics when they can use this opportunity to chart a new course.
Almost every party member worth its salt who is involved in this process knows very well that Dr APJ Abdul Kalam (our current president) is one of the best candidates to be given a second term. Even if their argument were that they want someone new so that everyone gets a chance, then there are a host of intellectuals and capable souls who can perform the Presidential duties (though it is very limited in India) with clear conscience without any political agenda.
It is a sad state of affairs that in every spectrum of life be it, education, sports, business, personal life of some people, in India we are witnessing corrupt politcal maneuvers. On one hand we are moving forward as an economy and country yet time and again we have these corrupt poltical games played to the detriment of our development as a nation which should be a powerful nation purely on its own heritage, culture and ability of its individuals.
My 2 cents
