Sources from New Delhi have stated that eighteen opposition parties have selected former Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, as their candidate for Vice-President of India. Meanwhile Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, who chaired the meeting said "He has agreed to be the opposition's candidate for Vice President".



 Meanwhile the attendees who asked not to be named said Gopalkrishna Gandhi's name was the only one discussed. Meanwhile he had also been considered as the opposition's choice for the President of India, who will be elected on Monday. However, the anti-BJP front dithered over its nomination and eventually selected former Speaker Meira Kumar for that election.

Moreover the Bihar Chief Minister has also stressed that his voting with the BJP on the matter of President is a one-off and that he remains committed to the opposition league that he helped form in April. Nitish Kumar's earlier approval of Gopal Gandhi was a major plus for his candidature.
