    This presidency was always the Congress Party’s. And it had the choice of a dozen other candidates — among them many women — who would have looked more worthy and deserving of the job than Pratibha Patil and would have spared the institution of the presidency and the Congress five years of explaining. And, how’s this for irony? This is the same party that was so exquisitely careful in choosing its prime minister.
