Pranab Kumar Mukherjee will be the 14th President of the world largest democratic country. A shrewd politician and a problem solver Pranab Mukherjee, who had immense administrative skill, will occupy the highest post of the country. He is real choice of the time. The victory margin has indicated it. Even the NDA allies supported him. The country will now see a real politician occupying the highest post of the country. Pranab Mukherjee as Finance Minister, Home Minister, Defence Minister and External Affairs Minister left a good mark. It was a fitting tribute to a leader of his stature that he bade bye to active politics in the manner he did. Congress party has been deprived of a great leader, who can make political rumblings to its favour. But the people of the country have gained. Their President will be a
functional President. Zero responsibility stigma associated with the presidential job may be gone at least during his term. Too many bills of great importance were passed by the UPA Government at the centre using him as a conduit to convince the opposition on the need for passing the bills. Opposition sponsored PA Sangma lacked charisma set against Pranab Mukherjee. NDA’s main aim and object in supporting Sangma was to shatter UPA fabric. On the contrary NDA had its own allies defying the term set by it. Mukherjee will be different from his predecessors. As president of India he will be able to have a say on matters of importance. He will not shirk his bounded duty to redress the grievances of the masses by pleading he is above board. No tradition will be shattered when the Prime Minister seeks the advice of the President on matters of importance. The constitution of the country does not say anything
against the President and the Prime Minister meeting frequently to discuss matters of national importance. Rather their meeting will help a lot in finding solution to the pestering problem that come up cropping every now and then. Pranab Mukherjee is going to be sworn in as the new president on July 25. He will be the President of the emerging super power. India having attained super power status will be able to focus on restoring peace in the world. But his first priority should be to improving regional imbalances. He knew that so when he campaigned for presidential election he declared that his first as the new President would be to the NE region of the country. His voice and appeal were heard by the people in the region so in the election all political parties voted en mass for him. NE region cannot be on par with the rest of the country in the field of development. More policies need to be framed keeping the smaller states in view for the speedy development of the country. His ideas and all his experiences will become handy in giving a face lift to the country. Mr President don’t be hesitant to open your mouth when the need arises. Economic expert as the President and a technocrat at the Prime Minister the image of the country has been raised. What more should we seek. Happy days are ahead.
