Pranab & the oddest prime -
Pranab Mukherjee, Ex-Finance Minister, ET
Zail Singh was handpicked by Indira Gandhi to be president. The Shiromani Akali Dal voted for him. Pratibha Patil was Sonia Gandhi's choice. The Shiv Sena supported the Marathi manoos. The Bengal CPI-M has forced its central leadership to back Pranab Mukherjee. So how come the Trinamool Congress initially opposed, and is now silent on, Mukherjee's candidature?

Verbatim |
 Nothing epitomises Congress's oligarchic culture, hinging on a power cabal that centres in a ‘High Command', than disgraced former Union Minister for Law and Justice Ashwani Kumar's parting statement in his own defence while demitting office. “Whatever the PM and the party High Command thought fit, as a loyal foot soldier, I have done, and I am proud of the fact that I have been a loyal foot soldier of the party”. There is no word about his loyalty to the nation, which, for patriotic Indians, should have precedence over party, Prime Minister and high command. But not in the Congress's scheme of things, which, in the final reckoning, is a matter of perpetuating the Nehru-Gandhi family's hegemony.
