Secret behind Kiran-Pranab meetings
The President of India is by and large considered apolitical. This is the accepted norm though there are instances where many presidents were used as rubber stamp by Nehru-Gandhi family. The recent election of Pranab Mukherjee as president was welcomed by many parties as he is not considered a rubber stamp for Sonia Gandhi.
Pranab is known to have his independent views on a host of issues. But off late it is being seen that when it comes to CM Kiran Kumar Reddy of AP, he takes an appointment with President Pranab whenever there are some important political meetings in Delhi. Sources say that in the recent past, Kiran has met Pranabda 4 to 5 times.
