According to sources the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has finally announced Union Minister of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation as well Information and Broadcasting, M Venkaiah Naidu, as its nominee for the post of vice-president of India. Sources have stated that if Naidu gets the support that NDA presidential nominee Ram Nath Kovind has received, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shall have both the top posts of the nation of his choice.
Sources have stated that the Congress party along with 18 non BJP parties had challenged the NDA for a tough fight in the presidential poll. But, a series of developments have presented the Opposition block as weak and even Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s appeal to give a unified fight against narrow-minded, divisive and communal vision doesn't seem to be working.
Besides Mulayam, his brother and Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Yadav has also appealed to back Kovind. But the promised support from the BJD, the TRS and the YSR Congress and likely backing from the AIADMK factions could offset the shortfall of the presidential votes by a substantial margin.
