BJP Leadership assumed all those parties who supported its Presidential Candidate Ram Nath Kovind would be backing Vice Presidential Candidate as well. However, This estimation has been proven wrong within 24 hours after Venkaiah Naidu was finalized as the nominee.
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik declared his party will be voting in favour of Opposition Candidate Gopalakrishna Gandhi in the upcoming Vice Presidential Polls. 'UPA Candidate Gopalakrishna Gandhi is a dear friend of mine. We were friends even before we made foray into politics. So, Our Vote is going to be for him,' says the BJD Chief in the press conference in Bhuvneshwar Today.
Currently, BJD have 28 MPs in Parliament. It even have the support of an Independent MP.
BJP received a huge shock with the latest move of Naveen Patnaik. This could just be a beginning why because many parties which differ with BJP supported Ram Nath Kovind just because he is a Dalit. What will be the stand of CMs like Nitish Kumar on BJP's Vice Presidential nominee? Though Venkaiah Naidu is expected to win, The majority willn't be as big as that of Ram Nath Kovind.
