After the Congress Working Committee authorised Sonia Gandhi to finalise the candidate, Home Minister Shivraj Patil is emerging as the front-runner in the presidential race.

According to party insiders, despite the rumour mill working overtime and springing up new names, <b>the Congress chief may prefer a trusted man like Patil over someone like External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee</b>.

With the DMK likely to press for fielding a backward caste candidate for Vice-President's post, the candidature of SK Shinde as Congress nominee for the presidential post has become doubtful. However, Shinde has all along been seen as the first choice of Sonia Gandhi.  <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Queen is more interested to appoint her toady than a person who can protect India's constitution and be a good Commander.
