BJP Board Convenes Amid Vice-Presidential Vacancy

The BJP Parliamentary Board is set to meet today to finalize the NDA’s Vice-Presidential candidate following Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior leaders are expected to play a key role in the decision-making process.

Potential Candidates in Consideration

Several names are reportedly under discussion, including Acharya Devvrat and Thawarchand Gehlot. The party is carefully considering caste, regional balance, and political experience while finalizing the nominee. Trivia cue: Acharya Devvrat is currently the Governor of Gujarat.

Role of RSS and Strategic Considerations

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is expected to endorse the choice, reflecting its influence in NDA decision-making. The selection aims to strengthen the coalition’s unity while appealing to diverse voter bases.

Timeline and Election Process

The Vice-Presidential election is scheduled shortly after the announcement. Once the NDA finalizes its candidate, the Electoral College, comprising members of both Houses of Parliament, will cast votes to elect the new Vice-President.
