Despite a resounding defeat at the hands of Ronald Reagan in 1980, the Democrat forged a new path promoting causes such as electoral probity abroad, social justice and drives to rid the world of medical conditions. His first foreign visit as president was to the UK where then prime minister James Callaghan, as well as the usual visits in London, took his guest to the North East with a visit to Newcastle, Sunderland and Washington – the village bearing the name of the first ever president. Mr Carter delighted crowds in the North East by saying “Howay the lads” during a speech to the assembled throng. He also received a miner’s lamp from 12-year-old Ian McEree in Washington. The 39th US president also carried out more traditional presidential duties, including meetings with western European leaders during his time in London while the Cold War was still ongoing. The practising Baptist continued his globetrotting ways after leaving power, even without Air Force One as his vehicle. He was also part of the Elders, a group of experienced statesmen and women drawn from all corners of the world.But it is not the largest prize a person has won in this country.

Pune: NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday said some people had raised red flags on the possibility of ‘30% vote manipulation ' during the assembly poll, and the election outcome prima facie showed it held truth. "Before the election, some people made a presentation that it is possible (to increase votes through manipulation), and they also raised a red flag saying it will be done in the election. It was our shortcoming that we did not pay heed to them. We never thought that the Election Commission of India would go to that extent in taking a wrong stand. After the poll results, however, prima facie it appears that the red flags raised by those people helt truth," the NCP (SP) chief said during a media interaction when asked about the opposition's take on the EVM issue. Pawar visited Pune's Mahatma Phule Wada to meet 95-year-old social worker Baba Adhav, who was observing a hunger strike against the alleged corruption and use of money in the recent election. After the meeting, the veteran politician said, "Parliamentary democracy looks in danger, given the current situation. Those in govt have no interest in this. The opposition has been raising the issues in Parliament for the last six days, but not even for a minute has the discussion happened on the issues of national interest. It clearly shows the intention of the people in govt to attack parliamentary democracy," he said. The opposition parties have been raising the issue of alleged EVM manipulation in the assembly poll, questioning the spurt in the number of votes polled in the last hour of the voting in the state. During Pawar's interaction with Adhav, he said some people said 30% of votes could be added to increase the vote count. Following the defeat in Haryana and Maharashtra assembly polls , Congress is planning a nationwide movement to raise issues over the conduct of the polls. Speaking about it, Pawar said, "The issue was raised in the Congress Working Committee's meeting where it was suggested that it should be raised by the members of the INDIA bloc at the national level. The decision on the issue is expected either on Monday or Tuesday." On Congress senior member Balasaheb Thorat's allegation of an unusual increase in the voter turnout in the last couple of hours on the polling day, the NCP (SP) chief said, "The figures which have come up (about voter turnout in the last couple of hours) are quite shocking. Not just Thorat, but several other candidates have also shared similar observation. Earlier, we saw misuse of power and money during the local body polls, but it is quite shocking to see similar misuse in the state assembly election as well." Speaking about Adhav's hunger strike, Pawar said, "Some people met me outside Parliament recently, and they remembered JP Narayan's movement. They spoke about initiating a similar movement in the country. Adhav's agitation has given voice to the concerns of common people, but he will need support."
