Venkaiah Naidu’s term is on the verge of ending and India is set to elect its next vice president. There are two candidates in the fray: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate and Mamata Banerjee’s frequent critic, the West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar and the opposition’s candidate Margaret Alva. ,Banerjee’s party, Trinamool Congress, has decided to abstain from voting in the vice president polls. This is because, according to Trinamool Congress leader Derek O’Brien, it was impossible for West Bengal’s ruling party to lend support to the BJP-supported candidate for the vice president polls. On the other hand, the Trinamool is unwilling to vote for the opposition candidate because, according to the party, they only got to know of Margaret Alva’s candidature right before it was announced. Also Read | TMC's decision to abstain from VP poll disappointing, it's not time for ego: Opposition candidate Margaret Alva,Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress has been at the forefront of stringing together an opposition alliance ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In such an attempt, the party sought to take a leading role in finding a presidential candidate based on consensus. ,At first, the Trinamool approached Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar. When Pawar refused to stand for presidential elections, the Trinamool approached National Conference leader Farooq Abdulla. Abdulla too rejected the proposal and the Trinamool next went to Gopalkrishna Gandhi. When Gandhi decided against contesting the polls, Trinamool took its own partyman, Yashwant Sinha to stand for elections. ,Sinha lost to Droupadi Murmu, who will take oath to become India’s first tribal president. ,After deciding to abstain from the vice president elections, Derek O’Brien said, “Treat us as equal partners and we will smoothly work together to expose BJP on matters where they have failed this country. The BJP has botched up [on many fronts, leading to issues] like unemployment, price-rise, federal structure, media freedom, credibility of institutions and more,” The Indian Express reported. ,Margaret Alva, the opposition’s candidate in the vice-presidential elections, has served as the governor of Rajasthan. She was also the first woman governor of Uttarakhand.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"28.6139","longitude":"77.209","name":"New Delhi, Delhi, India","city":"Delhi"},"keywords":"India,Margaret Alva,Trinamool Congress,Derek O’Brien,Bharatiya Janata Party,Mamata Banerjee,the West Bengal,Jagdeep Dhankar,West Bengal,Mamata,Lok Sabha,Nationalist Congress Party,NCP,Sharad Pawar,Pawar","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-23T11:15:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"FtHoEcHSwkiW","slug":"english/india-celebrates-droupadi-murmus-election-as-15th-president-in-pics","slugV2":"india/india-celebrates-droupadi-murmus-election-as-15th-president-in-pics-706951/","title":"India celebrates Droupadi Murmu's election as 15th President: In pics","postType":4,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-07-21T23:35:06+05:30","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":0,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1658426706376,\\\"strCount\\\":595,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"name\\\":\\\"intro\\\",\\\"text\\\":\\\"Droupadi Murmu is India's 15th President, first tribal and second woman to hold the post.

Murmu has also become India’s first-ever Tribal President, and is the second woman to hold the office after Pratibha Patil in 2007. Murmu hails from the Mayurbhanj district in Odisha, where celebrations began as counting began in New Delhi. The new Indian President, who was born in Uparbeda village, had begun her political journey after she became a ward councillor in the district. She later went on to become a two-time MLA and a minister of the state government. She was later appointed as the 9th Governor of Jharkhand, and was the first woman to hold the office.

The Shiv Sena has 18 members in the Lok Sabha and three members in Rajya Sabha. Rajya Sabha MP and Samana editor Sanjay Raut wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla announcing the change. The change in party whip is an indication of the Shinde rebellion now reaching Delhi. ,The newly-appointed Shiv Sena chief whip Rajan Vichare hails from Thane, the home base of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Bhawana Gawali, who was replaced by the party, reportedly said prior to the rebellion that Shiv Sena should ally with the BJP and form the government. Gawali has also been faced with Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons of late. ,Wednesday’s change of chief whip came after rebel Shiv Sena MLA Gulabrao Patil had claimed that 12 of Shiv Sena’s 18 MLAs will side with the Eknath Shinde camp. It was after Patil said this that the Uddhav Thackeray faction decided to quickly take action and appoint a new chief whip. Sanjay Raut, Leader of Shiv Sena Parliamentary Party wrote to Parliamentary Affairs minister Prahlad Joshi: “It is to inform you that Shiv Sena Parliamentary Party has nominated Rajan Vichare, MP (LS) as the chief whip in Lok Sabha in place of Bhavana Gawali, MP (LS), with immediate effect. ,Meanwhile, Rahul Shewale, another Shiv Sena MP urged Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday to support Droupadi Murmu, BJP’s presidential candidate. The oppositional stance of the Sena, until Uddhav was at the helm, would have otherwise been with Yashwant Sinha. ,The role of the party chief whip became important during the Maharashtra floor test in which 164 MLAs supported the Eknath Shinde faction and 99 supported the Shinde faction.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"19.076","longitude":"72.8777","name":"Mumbai, Maharashtra, India","city":"Mumbai"},"keywords":"Shiv Sena,Rajan Vichare,the Lok Sabha,Bhawana Gawali,Sanjay Raut,Lok Sabha,Maharashtra,Eknath Shinde,BJP,Shiv Sena Parliamentary Party,Parliament,The Shiv Sena,Rajya Sabha MP,Samana,Om Birla","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-07T09:01:01+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"knDzQTaSwd2r","slug":"english/unlike-president-polls-bjp-has-enough-votes-to-ensure-win-of-vice-president-nominee","slugV2":"india/unlike-president-polls-bjp-has-enough-votes-to-ensure-win-of-vice-president-nominee-694147/","title":"Unlike President polls, BJP has enough votes to ensure win of Vice President nominee","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_LFquvlN0p.jpg","coverCaption":"Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu.
