The People's President

The Presidential Elections 2007 once again proved that the elected representatives of the people DO NOT care about what people really want. It once again proves that Indian Democracy is not OF THE PEOPLE but of the so-called representatives who go by their party leaders' whims and fancies.

The Presidential Elections 2007 was far from being democratic, definitely not OF THE PEOPLE. If there had been a General Election for this, Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam would have won it with a whopping majority. Unfortunately for the Indians, this did not happen, simply because their "so called" representatives did not care about what their people really want. All they care about is the whims and fancies of their party leaders. The President who really was an inspiration, loved by every Indian (I am not considering the corrupt politicians' views), who dared to speak the right things, who was not simplyl a puppet of the ruling party, was not elected by the "people's representatives".

This is another proof that politicians are not people's representatives but party representatives. They do not truly represent us.

President Kalam, we Indians love you. Forget what our politicians have to say, but given a chance we would want you to be our President once again.
