Smooth sail likely for Pratibha

Smooth sail likely for Pratibha

Hope floats, but not for Vice President Bhairon Singh Shekhawat with his dream of becoming the President is nearing a sad end.


He became an independent to shed off his saffron leanings and get votes from non-NDA parties.


In the end, though, the NDA itself is not united in backing him. Shiv Sena, the oldest NDA ally is supporting the UPA nominee Pratibha Patil.


Deve Gowda's JDS, whose son Kumaraswamy became Karanataka's Chief Minister with BJP support, is abstaining from the polls.


Meanwhile, Mamtaa Banerjee's Trinamool Congress has also decided to abstain from the voting, saying Shekhawat is not their first choice.

The TRS which walked out of the UPA last year, is also unwilling to back Shekhawat.


"We tried our best, but it seems it didn’t work out in the end,” said BJP spokesperson Sushma Swaraj.


While the NDA's campaign seems to have floundered, the long list of accusations including this latest CD on her brother's alleged involvement in a murder, seems to have had no impact on the UPA nominee Pratibha Patil.


With the Left and the UPA strongly backing her, she seems to be a certain winner. She has 6,31,464 votes in her favour, a lead of 3 lakh votes over her rival.


So what will 2007 be remembered for, will it be remembered for the country getting its first woman president or will it be remembered for the dirtiest election campaign ever seen in the battle for presidency?
