All the main news for a few days are about the election to the post of President only. The election has become the talking point in the political circle due to the different opinions in the political parties, both in the ruling party as well as the opposition. In between, the name of the Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh also came up,suggested by Madame Mamata and Mulayam Singh Yadav. The press says it is M2, viz. Mulayam and Mamata. But it is actually M3, with Mulayam, Mamata and Manmohan Singh. But the third M will not like to be ‘elevated’ from PM to President, since it will be an elevation technically only, since as everybody knows, it will be a shift from powerful position to a ceremonial position.

It can be in Russia, interchanging of posts of President and Prime Minister. It is different in India. But the message that has gone through the country is that the allies like Mamata and Mulayam has lost confidence in the Prime Minister. This will be a serious embarrassment to both Dr.Manmohan Singh as well as Congress.

But the main question is who will be the final nominee of Congress, whether Pranab Mukherjee or Hamid Ansari?Let us wait a few days more.
