Before voting, NDA and India Block had made a strategy
On Monday, a day before the voting, Prime Minister Modi addressed a meeting of NDA MPs in Parliament. He wrote on social media platform X that people are very excited about CP Radhakrishnan’s candidature and he is confident that he will prove to be an excellent Vice President. On the other hand, leaders of parties of the INDIA block also met at the Constitution House and discussed the election process.

Which parties have distanced themselves from the elections?
In this election for the post of Vice President, some major regional parties have decided to stay away from voting. These include Biju Janata Dal (BJD), Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). These parties have announced that they will not vote in this election. However, even the absence of these parties is not expected to have any major impact on the results, because the mathematics of numbers looks strong in favor of NDA .
