Pratibha Patil

Pratibha’s stint at the Centre began in mid-eighties. From 1985 to 1990, she was a Rajya Sabha member, where she acted as the Deputy Chairman for two years from 1986-88. During her Rajya Sabha days, she also headed Rajya Sabha Committee on Privileges and was a member of the Business Advisory Committee too. In 1991, she added another feather to her cap by getting elected to the 10th Lok Sabha on a Congress ticket. After her stint at the lower house, she quietly went into wilderness to lead a retired life. Destiny had so much more for her to achieve. In 2004, she was recalled by the Congress party to take over the Governorship of Rajasthan. She accepted the appointment with grace and performed the task with élan. A non-controversial, loyal-to the- core Congresswoman, Pratibha had another tryst with destiny, when she was chosen by the ruling party to be its nominee for the prestigious post of President. Neither Pratibha nor her family had ever expected this news to sink in so easily. She was planning her final retirement and was almost through with her political career, but things changed overnight.

Since the UPA has the numbers to ensconce Pratibha in Rashtrapati Bhavan, her victory seems well-nigh certain at this juncture. She has promised not to be a rubber stamp President. She may not be a star politician, but she is certainly a performing politician, a team-person and above all, she has displayed good leadership skills throughout her political career. Now she is most likely to be the first Indian woman Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Way to Go!
