Election for the President of India.
In India, it is another big political entertainment event.
In US, election for the President, is historical event.
The President is the Head of the Executive Branch.
The President has the responsibility and authority
and stability to effectively run the Government.
In US, people have the power and directly elect the President.
In India, the President is just like a King or Queen in United Kingdom.
The President of India is constitutionally the Head of the Executive Branch.
But the President has no authority or responsibility to run the Government.
In India, people do not have the rights to elect the President.
So, the election of the President of India is just another political entertainment event.
Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam has been the President of India, since 2002.
In the last five years, Abdul Kalam has motivated
the youth to build a Modern India by 2020.
Abdul Kalam has been the source of inspiration for the people of India.
With his continuance guidance, the people of India will have the strength
and motivation to realize his dream of making India as a Developed Nation in 2020.
If the People of India has the power to elect their President,
then definately they will vote for Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam won the confidence of the People of India.
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam is the People Leader.
So, in India people do not elect their President.
Then who?
Legislative Members? People’s Representatives?
Constitutionally Yes!
But the truth is No!.
The State & Central Legislative Members have the rights
to vote to elect the President of India.
But the power to elect the President of India is not with the people
and it is not with the Legislative Members too.
It is with the Politicians.
The Politicians in India has the responsibility to elect the President of India.
For a moment the Politicians has to think, how did they get that power.
The Politicians got that power from the People.
If the Politicians realize the fact that people gave them the power,
then they will act to fulfill the wish of the People.
If the Politicians fail to realize the fact, then they will lose
the support of the People and in turn, they will lose their power.
In fact, if the Politicians fulfill the wish of the People,
they will get more power from the People.
So, the election of the President of India is a test for the Politicians.
Take a look at the current political scenario in India:
Most of the Regional Leaders realized the fact that they have more power than
the National Parties. All of them have greater experience in managing their
State Government. They learnt from their mistakes.
All the Regional Leaders have Greater Ambition too.
When those Regional Leaders stand in a line,
it looks like the Presidential Candidate Debate in India.
The Regional Leaders have free time to build up their Skill Set for the higher position.
Meanwhile, if the politicians let Abdul Kalam go,
then he will start the second freedom movement.
Gandhi was a free man without any responsibility to manage any party.
So, Gandhi could spend his time for the Development of the Nation.
As the President of India, Abdul Kalam could not freely express
his views and ideas to build the Modern India.
But as a responsible citizen of India,
Abdul Kalam will be totally free to build the Modern India.
In either way, People of India win.
