Who will be our next President of India? This question is on everyone’s mind these days as the Election Commission kick-started the process by which India will get its 13th President and BJP's President Amit Shah constituted one committee with Rajnath Singh, Jaitly,and Venkaiah Naidu, to discuss with all stakeholders to arrive at a consensus. Congress leadership has already reached out to parties such as, TMC, DMK, BSP, SP, RJD!NCP, CPM, CPI,JD(U) and JD (s) etc. However their coming together looks difficult because of internal contradictions, as many of them had fought against the Congress in the past. I feel it is not the arithmetic, but the political chemistry that matters. I have heard names of Gopalkrishna Gandhi, Mahatma 's grandson, Maharashtra's strongman Sharad Pawar, but as usual it seems there is no agreement on any candidate as of now. But the opposition camp, has thrown the ball in ruling party's court, to build a consensus. On the BJP's front, the Presidential ambition of Advani, now lays shattered in the wake of Supreme Court reviving charges, against him in Babri Masjid case. Draupadi Murmu's name (Jharkhand Governor) also being suggested as first ever tribal President, while elevation to either, Sushma Swaraj or Sumitra Mahajan, also seen as possibility. We cannot rule out a surprise too.
