DMK MP Tiruchi Siva like to be Opposition’s VP candidate

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Tiruchi Siva is most likely to be the Opposition’s vice-presidential candidate, NDTV has reported.

Siva’s candidature against the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) çandidate, CP Radhakrishnan, another senior leader, both hailing from Tamil Nadu, could aid the Opposition in navigating regional political dynamics.

Radhakrishnan is currently serving as the Maharashtra Governor.

The vice presidential election will be held on September 9.

Jagdeep Dhankhar, former vice-president, made news after a decision to resign from the post citing health issues. However, political murmurs indicate differences between the Jatt leader and the saffron party, leading to his early exit.
