sushma among contenders
The news
about the election of President and Vice President will be hot till August.
There is no indication from either the BJP or the Congress, but lobbying within
the BJP has started and names of different leaders are emerging. One section
within the BJP is advocating for External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj as
President. There is another lobby which is advocating the candidature of Lok
Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan. However, sources disclosed that BJP President
Amit Shah is not happy with the Speaker. Jharkhand Governor Draupadi Murmur, a
dalitadivasi leader from Odisha, is another strong candidate. The rumour mill
is also propagating the name of film star Amitabh Bachchan for the first
citizen of India. For the post of Vice-President, the names of former Chief
Justice KG Balakrishnan and P Sadashivam are emerging. There is another lobby
which is propagating the name of Venkaiah Naidu for the Vice-President of
India. Insiders within the BJP also feel that if wisdom prevails, then veterans
of the party Lal Krishna Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi are the
most suitable candidates, keeping in mind the dedication and commitment
of these leaders. In the given political atmosphere, the battle for these
most prestigious posts will gain momentum after the results of five state
assembly elections. It has to be seen who RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat, Bhaiyaji
Joshi and DattatreyaHosbole recommend to Narendra Modi. One top BJP
leader informed that Modi will choose a personality who will fetch him votes
irrespective of RSS or BJP affiliations.
