Debjit Mukherjee: The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has nominated West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar for the post of Vice President of India, BJP national president J P Nadda said Saturday.
The office of the vice president will fall vacant when the term of M Venkaiah Naidu ends on August 10. Elections for Vice President are scheduled for August 6, with the last date for filing nominations July 19.
While speaking about NDA’s vice president candidate, Nadda said Dhankhar is a “kisan putra” (son of a farmer) who established himself as “people’s governor”.
