Our President, the man for all seasons of the Congress party, has got a great opportunity to instill some hope in the minds of all. For the past 5years, the President was not inspirational either due to her works, stature, or for other reasons, but Mr.Pranab Murkherjee the 13th president of Indian Republic can restart where Dr.Kalam has stopped. Dr.Kalam has inspired many young people to move towards the science and technology and his speeches and interactions were widely followed by many. All that stopped with Smt.Pratibha Patel who owing to her allegiences to Smt.Sonia Gandhi never worked the way a president should. But Pranabji being at the end of his political career and with many a allegations against him should work like a true President like several of predecessors and his speech should inspire the nation.
But by his track record in the parliament and his Independece day speech, the hope of an inspiring speech seems too much a expectation. Unless Mr.Mukherjee himself becomes republic there is no meaning of his speech to the nation. From the Independence day speech one thing was clear, that he is still not independent of the Congress President. With 5months time available to him, and much renovation works etc started by him, he is giving a fresh life to the Rashtrapathi Bhavan, but whether has he got a fresh life free from the Congress Party. More than the ordinary citizens of this country, the soldiers look to thier Commander in Chief for some hope, becaue our political leaders in Parliament have made fools of our defense forces. But the Chief, the least he can do is instill hope and make some actions in that direction.
A Tough president is what the nation wants, who will be remembered for times to come. Unlike Smt.Prathiba Patel whose tenure was always mired in controversies, our current president has already faced some problems as his son used some foul language to describe the women protesters. But like Pranabji cannot make youth embrace science and technology, he should make an attempt to make the youth embrace politics with his great experience in that field. Whatever said and done, Pranabji is an excellent politician who worked for the interests of his party only.
But now on Mr.Mukherjee should work as the People's President and for the nation.
