NDA MPs' dinner cancelled: PM Modi was scheduled to host a dinner for NDA MPs on September 8, a day before the Vice-President elections, but the event was cancelled in view of the floods in several states, including Punjab. According to sources, PM Modi will visit the flood-affected states and also hold a review meeting on the situation. Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Gujarat have been hit hard by the floods. What in a 2-day training session? In the training session, MPs will be briefed on how to mark the ballot paper correctly, how to use the pen provided by the Returning Officer and how to fold the ballot paper properly and place it inside the box so that the vote is not invalidated. In fact, the party whip does not apply to secret ballots. In such a situation, the focus of the NDA is on preventing cross voting and reducing illegal votes. The counting of votes for the vice presidential election will also take place on September 9. The NDA has nominated Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan as its vice-presidential candidate. He will be pitted against I.N.D.I.A. candidate and retired Supreme Court Justice B Sudarshan Reddy. Retired Justice Reddy hails from Andhra Pradesh while CP Radhakrishnan hails from Tamil Nadu. In fact, the Vice Presidential election is being held due to the sudden resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar on the night of July 21. The 74-year-old Dhankhar had a tenure till August 10, 2027. NDA gets support of 11 more MPs Ahead of the Vice Presidential election, the NDA is trying to get the support of MPs from other parties. The alliance has already got the support of 11 MPs of the YSR Congress Party in Andhra Pradesh. Now the NDA is trying to bring together the BJD of Odisha and the BRS of Telangana. The BJD is yet to clarify its stand for the vice-presidential election, while both NDA and INDIA are trying to woo the BRS to their side. INDIA has been appealing for support on the basis of regional representation. Know the two candidates for the post of Vice President... The victory of the NDA candidate is certain. The total number of MPs in the Lok Sabha is 542. One seat is vacant. The NDA has 293 MPs. At the same time, there are 245 MPs in the Rajya Sabha. There are 5 vacant seats. The NDA has 129 MPs. Suppose the members nominated for the Vice-President also vote in favour of the NDA candidate. Thus, the ruling coalition has the support of a total of 422 members. The support of 391 MPs is needed for a majority. In August 2022, NDA candidate Jagdeep Dhankhar got 528 votes. Opposition candidate Margaret Alva received only 182 votes. After that, 56 MPs did not vote.
