After the initial hoopla over a woman becoming a President, the charges and insinuations have been raining on Pratibha Patil for days now. L.K. Advani has urged MPs to exercise a “conscience vote”. The Supreme Court has dismissed a Public Interest Litigation. The BJP has set up a website. And thanks to the media coverage of her family’s activities, even her admirers now have some doubts if it was such a great idea to put her up. But amid all the hoo-ha, the potential “Rashtrapati Mahoday” has remained blissfully silent, preferring to read a boilerplate statement of denial.
What is the one question you would like to ask your next President—and it seems more likely than no that despite all the negative publicity, she will still sail through in the end. Please keep your queries short and civil.
churumuri 
1) Do you use ohja boards?
2) What would you ask mr shekhawat (your hubby, in case you are confused) to do if he met Sanjay Gandhi with a pair of scissors during the emergency?
a)Run of cover
b) Give ’em up for the greater national good
c) paraphrase a dialogue from sholay “Yeh haath mujhe de de thakur!!”

Smt. Patil, may we expect a rebuttal of these serious accusations? — See the articles authored by India’s “orjinnall” investigative journalist, Shri. Arun Shourie: http://www.knowpratibhapatil.com/
Shri. Shourie articles are apparently condensed from more than 700 pages of documents that show you to be unfit for any public position, leave alone that of Rashtrapati.

You can answer that in Marathi, as I’m told your English and Hindi are as good as my Russian.

If the BJP-led NDA sneaks ahead of the Congress-led UPA in the next general elections, will the ruckus over your nomination dictate who you will invite to form the government? Or will you forget all this just like it seems you have forgotten everything else that has been said, hinted, exposed and insinuated?

The only one question which should be asked to UPA:
Would you have made Mrs Patil a candidate if you knew so many skeletons in her cupboard?
Sonia’s handling of the choice of Presidency shows shw has no political maturity, neither her inner coterie. The UPA win in last election was a fluke affair and I do hope it will be corrected prior to 2009/

First of all, You would be the first women president of this great country independent history. Congratulations!
You had said that you had the divine darshan of your GURU who had said that something special was coming your way or something to that effect.
Now can you please invoke your GURU and ask him what is in store for our country, now that you are becoming our Rastrapathi so that if there is something bad in the pipeline, it could be mitigated.

Any question is exercise in futility. When redoubtable journalist like the Editor of Outlook himself has taken her cause ( see the latest outlook dated 16th July 2007) by using the clever ploy, suppressio very and suggestio falsi making mountain of mole hill in the case of one contender and molehill of a mountain in the other where is any sense in wasting time on this. The writing on the wall is clear that taint hitherto confined to the parliament has been givena honourable place by official seal to the highest of the land and given legitimacy to the statement of Indira Gandhi,that corruption is a global phenomenon. in a new development on the 60th year of independace heralding a modified version of ‘tryst with destiny’ not substantially but fully.
