New Delhi: After Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation, the search for a new Vice President has begun. The date for the election for the post of Vice President has also been fixed. Voting for the post of Vice President will be held on September 9, for which NDA and India Alliance have already started brainstorming. The election of the Vice President is going to be a big test for both alliances.
It is believed that India Block can announce a non-Congress candidate for this post. The main objective of this election will be to keep all the political parties of India Block united, so that anti-BJP votes can be attracted towards them. Aam Aadmi Party also has 11 votes in this election, which can play a big role.
Who will be the opposition candidate?
Now the question in everyone’s mind is who will be the candidate for the post of Vice President from the opposition political parties. Senior opposition leader, referring to making senior Congress leader Margaret Alva the opposition candidate, said that we cannot make a mistake this time like in the last election. The Trinamool Congress, the second largest opposition party in Parliament at that time, refused to vote for candidate Alva.
Leaders gathered at Rahul Gandhi’s dinner party.
On Thursday, a dinner party was organised at the house of opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. A meeting was also held among the opposition political parties during the dinner party. It was attended by 14 senior opposition leaders, including Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Akhilesh Yadav, Uddhav Thackeray and Farooq Abdullah, TMC MPs Abhishek Banerjee and Derek O’Brien and CPI(M) General Secretary MA Baby.
There was a detailed discussion on the issue of the Vice Presidential election among the leaders of the political parties gathered at this dinner party.
The opposition will fight the election unitedly.
For information, let us tell you that this time there is a lot of mental pressure on the BJP, which is ruling the Centre with the help of Vaisakhi. In such a situation, the election of the Vice President will prove to be very important for both alliances. It is believed that the opposition will give a common candidate for the post of Vice President, so that a message of unity can be given. However, in this election, the NDA has sufficient numbers to get its candidate elected.
