Vice President Election: In this season of politics, where the opposition has not yet decided the ‘press conference’ of its strategy, the NDA on Sunday declared CP Radhakrishnan’s name for the post of Vice President. Announcement was not a big deal but JP Nadda was worth noting that ‘we would talk to the opposition, so that the election could be held unopposed’. That is, the ball is in your court, but we are also holding the bat and will also do fielding.
CP Radhakrishnan is currently the Governor of Maharashtra. Now he is ready to go out of ‘Raj Bhavan’ and climb the stairs of ‘Rajya Sabha Bhavan’. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah immediately congratulated and pictures of sweets were also put on the BJP’s X handle. Even if the opposition is still setting the date of the meeting. Looking at the data, it seems that the Opposition will make the Vice President without any hard work and strategy without any hard work and strategy.
Number game story – Mathematics of power
Talking about the number force in the election of the post of Vice President, the position of the NDA looks like the first bench topper. There are a total of 786 members, including Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, although 6 seats are vacant, and they also surprised why they have not been filled till now. The victory requires at least 349 votes and the magic number of 422 with the NDA is already in the pocket, that is, even if the opposition enters the field, the game is going to be one-sided.
Opposition now in ‘Khojo Campaign’
The opposition India alliance is still looking for a candidate. Some say, they are still deciding whether samosa or date with tea. However, the BJP has thrown the ball and invited the opposition to agree. In the language of democracy it is called ‘unopposed’, but in the interpretation of politics it can also be considered a strategic surrender.
‘The match has won the NDA, just the name is yet to be done on the score board’
The Constitution says that the post of Vice President should not remain vacant, but on the political ground, it seems as if this post has been reserved for the NDA. Now it has to be seen whether the opposition descends into the field this time or the audience decides to sit in the gallery. So on September 9, not just elections, a constitutional formality will be completed and that too with a smile of majority.
