New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (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 on 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, The Indian Express reported.
Speaking about NDA’s vice presidential candidate, Nadda said Dhankhar is a “kisan putra” (son of a farmer) who established himself as “people’s governor”.
Since assuming charge as the governor of West Bengal in July 2019, Dhankhar has been at loggerheads with the Mamata Banerjee-led government in the state regularly over various issues.
