NDA Candidate C.P. Radhakrishnan Elected as India’s 15th Vice-President

C.P. Radhakrishnan, the NDAs candidate, has proudly stepped into the role of the 15th Vice-President of India. He achieved this significant milestone by securing an impressive 452 votes, defeating his opponent, Justice B. Sudershan Reddy, who received 300 votes. The election witnessed remarkable participation, with over 98% of Members of Parliament casting their votes, showcasing strong backing for Radhakrishnan from the NDA and its allies.

His election as Vice-President is particularly noteworthy due to his extensive political journey. Radhakrishnan has served as the Governor of Maharashtra and Jharkhand, alongside being a two-time Lok Sabha MP and former state BJP president. His background highlights the NDA's strategic move in selecting a candidate deeply rooted in party values and connected to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), aiming to convey a sense of stability and continuity within the Indian political landscape.

Radhakrishnan's victory is not just a personal achievement; it signifies a robust foundation for his term as Vice-President. During this time, he will preside over the Rajya Sabha and act as a representative for India in multiple national and international contexts. The support shown during this election underscores the trust the NDA and its allies place in Radhakrishnan's leadership capabilities.

As he embarks on this new journey, all eyes will be on how he navigates his responsibilities and contributes to the country’s political discourse.
