INDIA Bloc's Strategic Moves for Vice-Presidential Contest

The INDIA bloc leaders are convening to discuss a joint candidate for the vice-presidential post, following the NDA's nomination of Maharashtra Governor C P Radhakrishnan. This meeting at Mallikarjun Kharge's office could determine opposition unity ahead of the vice-presidential election on September 9. The candidate filing deadline is August 21.

The INDIA bloc is poised for crucial discussions regarding their candidate for the vice-presidential role, as they convene at a meeting of floor leaders on Monday morning.

Set to take place at Mallikarjun Kharge's office, leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha, the talks begin after NDA's announcement of C P Radhakrishnan as their choice.

This development, coming after the resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar, sets the stage for a strategic electoral battle ahead of the September 9 vice-presidential elections.
