Telangana CM KCR and the present VP Venkaiah are having very good relations. There is a talk that if Venkaiah is announced as the presidential candidate by the BJP, KCR will openly support him.<\/p>\n
The buzz is that Vice-President, Venkaiah Naidu is the frontrunner. However, there is also talk that the BJP may not make any changes and could continue with Kovind as the President.<\/p>\n
In July, the President of India will be elected by an electoral college formed by 776 parliamentarians and 4,120 legislators. During the last elections, the BJP had sprung a surprise by naming Ram Nath Kovind as the presidential candidate. Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu is a frontrunner for the top post but the BJP leadership has yet to take a call on whether incumbent Ram Nath Kovind should be offered a second term.<\/p>\n
The BJP government will try and reach a consensus in consultation with its allies, including supporting parties like the YSR Congress and Naveen Patnaik’s BJD.<\/p>\n
The Opposition parties have been trying to put up a joint candidate for the presidential polls, but it will be difficult for Congress to take the lead in this exercise after its poor election performance.<\/p>\n
Regional parties like Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress, MK Stalin’s DMK, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena, and K Chandrasekhar Rao’s Telangana Rashtra Samiti are expected to play a key role in deciding whether to put up a joint opposition candidate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
