TDP MPs to meet today to ensure 'CP Radhakrishnan's victory with maximum votes' ahead of VP poll

TDP parliamentary leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu calls meeting with all party MPs to strategize for NDA VP candidate CP Radhakrishnan's victory with maximum votes.

"the victory of Radhakrishnan with maximum votes - TDP Parliamentary Meeting"

New Delhi, September 8

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) parliamentary group leader Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu has called a meeting today at his residence, 50 Ashoka Road, with all party MPs to discuss strategies to ensure the victory of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Vice Presidential candidate CP Radhakrishnan in the upcoming polls.

The meeting is scheduled for noon and aims to secure "the victory of Radhakrishnan with maximum votes."

Meanwhile, another NDA ally, Shiv Sena, is also holding a meeting on the same issue. Shiv Sena parliamentary leader Shrikanth Shinde has called a meeting at his residence on Monday at 12:30 PM. Shinde has instructed all Shiv Sena MPs to reach Delhi by Sunday night to participate.

The discussions are expected to focus on securing maximum votes in favour of Radhakrishnan. Shinde has also briefed the party MPs about the voting process and necessary precautions during polling.

The Vice Presidential election, scheduled for September 9, will witness a direct contest between Justice (Retd.) B Sudershan Reddy, backed by the INDIA bloc, and NDA's nominee CP Radhakrishnan.

The Bharatiya Janata Party, which is organising a 'Sansad Karyalaya' from September 7-8, will also hold a practice session for its MPs on Monday to guide them on the voting process.

The Vice Presidential post fell vacant after Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned on the first day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament on July 21, citing health reasons.

The election of the Vice President is governed by the provisions under Articles 64 and 68 of the Constitution. The Election Commission notifies the VP polls by the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections Act, 1952.

As per Article 66(1) of the Constitution of India, the election of the Vice President shall be held by the system of proportional representation by means of single transferable vote, and the voting at such election shall be by secret ballot.

While I support the NDA candidate, I wish there was more discussion about the candidates' vision for the Vice President role rather than just party strategies. The VP plays a crucial constitutional role.

Interesting to see how Indian parliamentary democracy functions. The coordination between regional parties and national alliances is quite different from what we see in Western systems.

Hope the new Vice President will uphold the dignity of the Rajya Sabha and ensure smooth functioning of Parliament. We need someone who can maintain bipartisan decorum.

The detailed explanation of the voting process is helpful for those unfamiliar with Indian constitutional procedures. The single transferable vote system ensures fair representation.
