Eyebrows have been raised about the Congress ticket to the President Pratibha Patil's son Rajendra for the Maharashtra assembly elections, with the local Congress leaders rebelling against the party. But few know that the real power centre within Rashtrapati Bhavan is the President's spouse Devi Singh Shekhawat, better known as Hukum. The Thakur and a former Professor hailing from Rajasthan had earlier sparked a controversy when he insisted that he should walk ahead of the President as was the ritual in his native state. He was gently reminded about the Presidential protocol and he backed off. While rumors have been doing on the Raisina Hill about the President's spouse's erratic behaviour, insiders say that bureaucrats in Maharashtra have been called up at the behest of Shekhawat telling them Mr President wanted to speak. So with Mr President exercising real powers, it is hardly surprising that the local Congress leaders wouldn't dare to ignore a call from the Mr President seeking a ticket for the son to contest the elections - ( Source : India Today)
Thus we have a Mr.President to compliment the Madam Prime Minister or should I say, Madam Super Prime Minister?
Did I not read somewhere in Management books that there should not be Authority without Responsibility?
