Supreme Court judges have been B.K. Sudarshan Reddy

India Block, former Supreme Court Judge Justice B.K. Sudarshan Reddy has been declared as Vice Presidential candidate. The opposition is calling this election a contest between a leader and judge, who protect the values ​​of the Constitution and have a different view from the ideology of the ASS. Justice Reddy has previously been the Judge of the Supreme Court and the Lokayukta of Goa.

What is the magical figure for victory?

Currently there are 542 MPs in the Lok Sabha and 239 MPs in Rajya Sabha, that is, the total member number of both houses is 781. The support of 391 MPs will be necessary to win any candidate. Meanwhile, Naveen Patnaik’s BJD, Chandrashekhar Rao’s BRS and Shiromani Akali Dal have decided to stay away from voting. These three parties have a total of 12 MPs, now the total MP number is 669. Accordingly, Radhakrishnan or Sudarshan Reddy needed only 385 MPs to win.

The atmosphere is hot for the election of the post of Vice President. Both NDA and India Block have also announced the names of their candidates. Where the NDA, the Governor of Maharashtra and senior BJP leader C.P. While Radhakrishnan has been made a candidate, the opposition has made the contest interesting by fielding former Justice of Supreme Court and Sudarshan Reddy, who was a Lokayukta of Goa.

How many MPs and opposition MPs in Lok Sabha?

However, the mathematics of the data is clearly tilted in favor of the ruling party. At present, a total of 782 MPs are entitled to vote in Parliament including Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and at least 392 votes will be required to win. There are a total of 543 MPs in the Lok Sabha, out of which the NDA has 293 MPs, while the opposition has 234 MPs and 15 MPs from other small parties.

How many MPs have the opposition in Rajya Sabha?

Similarly, out of a total of 240 MPs in the Rajya Sabha, the NDA has the support of about 134 MPs, while the opposition has 78 MPs, while the number of small political parties and elected MPs is 28. In this way, the votes of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs together have a total of 427 votes, which are 35 votes more than the majority figure.

How many votes are away from the majority?

On the other hand, the opposition has only 312 votes, ie 80 votes less than the majority. At the same time, other parties and independents have 43 votes, but even without them the power of the ruling party is heavy. If we look at the last election, NDA candidate Jagdeep Dhankhar got 528 votes in the Vice Presidential election held in August 2022, while opposition candidate Margaret Alva got only 182 votes. At that time 55 MPs did not vote.

If you take a look at the profiles of the candidates fielded by the NDA and India alliance, then both the candidates come from South India. Radha Krishnan comes from Tamil Nadu and Sudarshan comes from Telangana. CP Radhakrishnan is an old BJP leader and has organization and administrative experiences. He was the Governor of Jharkhand from February 2023 to July 2024 and also took over the additional charge of the Lt. Governor of Telangana and Puducherry.

Currently CP Radhakrishnan is the Governor of Maharashtra. At the same time, opposition candidate Sudarshan Reddy has been a judge of the Supreme Court and his honest and strict image was also revealed as the Lokayukta of Goa. The opposition has tried to take them down and give the message that this election number is not only of strength, but also of moral strength and ideology.

Opposition has a shortage of number force

However, the figures clearly indicate that the candidate of the ruling party C.P. Radhakrishnan’s victory is almost decided. The opposition may have fielded Sudarshan Reddy with strong image, but lack of number force is their biggest challenge, but the opposition parties are hoping that they can also get support from MPs of NDA parties.

Especially the parties associated with South India of TDP and YSRCP. If this happens, the match can definitely be quite interesting, but its possibility is very less.
