-
The INDIA bloc will put up a joint candidate for the vice presidential polls and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge is reaching out to Opposition parties to explore names and reach a consensus on it, sources said Sunday.
They said that there was a strong feeling in the bloc that Opposition parties should not shy away from a contest to send a strong political message irrespective of the outcome.
Though there has not been any structured discussion on picking a candidate, backchannel talks are on among INDIA bloc partners to deliberate on names of possible candidates with Kharge reaching out to Opposition parties for building a consensus.
There is consensus among parties that the INDIA bloc will put up a joint candidate for the vice presidential polls, Congress sources said.
However, a section in the Opposition camp believes that the INDIA bloc must decide their candidate after the BJP announees its pick.
This comes at a time of heightened unity among INDIA bloc constituents who have vowed to fight against the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar and alleged poll rigging.
