Veteran Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad is likely to become the President or the next Vice President of India, it is learnt.
There is a talk that the ruling Bharatiya Janatha Party is planning to nominate him for the Rajya Sabha and vote for him in a unanimous election it is reported.
The BJP has already begun top-level talks on the presidential and vice-presidential elections.
The top leadership of the party are in talks to decide who would be suitable for the two posts. Following the results of the five state elections in March, the party will make a final decision on this.
After this election, it will be clear to what extent the BJP will have to depend on the regional parties for the presidential election. Moreover, this election will also have an impact on the BJP Rajya Sabha seats.
Depending on that, the strategy to be adopted to elect the President and the Vice President unanimously will be finalized.
However, the President has to rely on the legislators for the election, while the Vice President has to rely only on the strength of the members of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
