New Delhi, Aug 19 (PTI) The National Democratic Alliance’s vice presidential candidate C P Radhakrishnan was felicitated at a meeting of the ruling bloc’s MPs here on Tuesday in the presence of their top brass, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and many Union ministers.
Radhakrishnan is likely to file his nomination on Wednesday.
With the BJP-led NDA enjoying a comfortable majority in the electoral college comprising MPs from the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, Radhakrishnan’s win is a certainty amid indications from the opposition INDIA bloc that it will field its own candidate and force a contest.
