President Election of India in 2012

After a long 5year term, the first lady-president of India, Mrs.Pratibha Singh Patil has been moved from this first lady person of India post in next July 16. For that the activities for choosing next President are already started. The main political party UPA which at this moment forms the Government already nominates Mr. Pranav Mukherjee as his Presidential candidate.But ,at that moment the main opposition party NDA have not announced its candidate till yet. The President post in India is a very respected post and the candidate for  it is chosen not directly by people as like Prime minister case. Here the president is chosen by the MPs and MLAs. In Indian constitution President does not have huge capacity over activities of Government. Generally a candidate with clean and popular personality is chosen by the parties. For this important post the all parties must choose a person in common. They must not do elections for this post. By this they make this post a colourless and less importance.
