Sansad Watch Ep 39: Is India's president just a rubber stamp?

The presidential election is next month. The governing NDA and the opposition UPA have both announced their candidates and the division of votes is becoming clearer.

In this final episode of Sansad Watch, we look at how the president is elected and some of the 'superpowers' vested in the post. Watch!
