Consensus not reached with the government
The government tried to reach a consensus on the name of the Vice President, but the matter could not be reached. NDA had announced the name of CP Radhakrishnan 2 days ago. After this, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh was given the responsibility of talking to all the parties. Before B Sudarshan Reddy, the name of DMK's Tiruchi Siva was also being discussed in political circles, but India Alliance has decided to make Sudarshan, who comes from Telangana, the Vice Presidential candidate.
