Politically & Technically Correct

When the winds are not blowing in your favour, you have to have patience and change the strategy to move ahead. You can't always have the liberty to display the  habitual arrogance against the powerful winds.

The Congress party is not learning any lessons and just doing the opposite. Their guarded  opposition to the NDA Presidential  nominee, Ramnath Kovind, which is truely a political & technical master stroke by BJP, is nothing but an act of self  decimation.

Shri Ram Nath Kovind, 71 is Governor of Bihar state presently. Acvording to reports in media, his face doesn’t grab airtime. His comments do not court controversy and his actions seldom make news. The National Democratic Alliance's man for the country’s highest constitutional post is as low profile as can be. Even, the Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar made a courtesy call on him when news came in that Mr Kovind has been nominated presidential candidate by NDA government and showered praise on him.The Kanpur-born  Kovind, a Dalit leader, is known for his organisational skills and is a loyal member of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

He was a lawyer who practiced in the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court for 16 years.  Mr. Kovind first stepped into politics in 1994 when he was elected as a Rajya Sabha member from Uttar Pradesh. He served for two consecutive terms for 12 years till March, 2006. He represented India in the United Nations in New York and addressed United Nations General Assembly in October, 2002.

During his parliamentary tenure, Mr. Kovind emphasised on development of basic infrastructure for education in rural areas and helped in the construction of school buildings in Uttar Pradesh and Uttrakhand under MPLAD (Member of Parliament Local Area Development) Scheme. He has served as a member of several parliamentary committees, including the Parliamentary Committee on Welfare of Scheduled Castes/Tribes, Parliamentary Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment, among others.

Mr. Kovind served as a member of the Board of Management of Dr. B.R Ambedkar University, Lucknow. He was also a member of the Board of Governors of Indian Institute of Management, Kolkata.

Unfortunately, the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has made a political incorrect statement about the governer of adjoining state that she never heard of the nominee and termed it a "not so mature" move.

The learned and articulate Mr Kovind will be a better suited person to the highest office of the Country.
