The Presidential candidate is yet to decided by the political parties. Sonia is yet to come to a conclusion. But 6 nominations are in already. The Patels have a dream. The couple from Mumbai, who filed their nomination papers for the presidential poll today, would like to share the two top Constitutional posts between them.<\/p>\n
They, and a bare-chested man in a dhoti, were among the six who filed their papers on the first day of nominations for the July 17 election to the President’s post.<\/p>\n
Their papers, however, were liable to be rejected as none had the signatures of 50 proposers and as many seconders from the list of electors, essential for a valid nomination.<\/p>\n
Elected members of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha and of state legislative assemblies are the electors.<\/p>\n
Among the six to make a dash for filing the nomination papers were the Mumbai couple, Saira Bano Mohammed Patel and Mohammed Patel Abdul Hamid from Mumbai, and Dr K Padmarajan from Tamil Nadu’s Salem, who has lost 170 elections over the last 29 years to retain his record of the “most unsuccessful candidate”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
