PRANAB MUKHERJEE: A Congress veteran, Union Finance Minister and the UPA's ace trouble-shooter.

STRENGTH:

He is an astute politician and a brilliant administrator. Being a key government and party negotiator, he has friends across the political spectrum. Even the Opposition may not oppose him.

WEAKNESS:

His strength is his only weakness. If he is elevated to the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Congress will be deprived of the one and only trouble-shooter.
