BJP sources have quashed speculation about Janata Dal (United) chief Nitish Kumar being considered for the Vice President post, following Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation. According to top party leaders, the next Vice President will be a veteran BJP leader closely associated with the party’s ideology.
Key Points
- BJP’s Decision: The party has ruled out considering key allies like Nitish Kumar for the top post, emphasizing that the Vice President will be someone closely tied to the party’s values.
- Election Commission’s Move: The Election Commission has begun preparations for the Vice Presidential election, which is expected to be held within six months.
- Speculation and Reactions: The speculation about Nitish Kumar’s potential Vice Presidency was sparked by a meeting between JDU leader Ram Nath Thakur and BJP chief J.P. Nadda, but BJP insiders described it as a routine interaction.
- Opposition’s Stance: The Opposition is yet to propose a name for the top post, and it’s worth noting that only four out of 16 Vice Presidential elections have been held without contest.
Nitish Kumar’s Potential Candidacy
While some BJP leaders, like Haribhushan Thakur Bachaul, have backed Nitish Kumar for the Vice President post, citing it as a matter of pride for Bihar and India, the party’s top sources have dismissed these claims. RJD leaders have also reacted sharply, questioning Nitish Kumar’s capability to handle the role.
