Who is the best president we have had so far? C'mon, this one should be easy.... Giani Zail Singh of course.
Just for a moment think if the venerable President Z (puns galore!!) could become a cult figure at a time when even telephones were a luxury and well, for porn you had to go to a video library, what an explosion of fun we would have had if he was the President now, in the age of social networks, and photo and video editing tools!!
He spawned a thousand jokes, the populace hung on to every sighting of his on our black and white news shows.
Unfortunately, he isn't quite around to run for President anymore.
But there is one politician who can fill in if not for anything else but for the sheer entertainment value she provides. Since she has proved a disaster in every other aspect, we should have her in a place where she can do minimum damage. Now which is a high visibility zero impact government post, the President of India.
I propose Mamata for President, Pranab babu , please step down for someone else from your state.
The President's office will become popular like never before and probably never again.
The possibilities are endless. She may declare national emergency because a CPM "harmad" beat up a Trinamool member. She may declare war on Nepal while telling Prachanda "you are the Maoist, you are the leftist cadre".
She will certainly declare President's rule in the Left ruled states of Tripura and Kerala. She will do the same for West Bengal since anyway as TMC chief she is supposed to "rule" West Bengal.
She can always blame India's ills on 35 (actually 34 but she keeps saying 35) years of Left Front rule in Bengal and put the three pointed light (triphala) on all of India's road.
Her greeting visiting state dignitaries can be super fun and will be a hit on live tv. She will champion foreign investments to India by making industrialists sing with her "when no one is with you, walk alone". Kind of ironic because she sang it at a meet to woo industrialists to Bengal.
There can be so many more fun situations, the possibilities are endless!
