00:00All right, and we have more news coming in.
00:02This is the Prime Minister's big consensus appeal to the opposition.
00:06The Prime Minister urging the opposition to support the candidature of Radha Krishnan as the Vice President.
00:14Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appealed to the opposition to support the NDA's candidate for the post of the Vice President.
00:21This is the NDA's candidate so that the Vice President is elected from the General Committee.
00:26The Prime Minister has said Rajnath Singh is talking to the leaders of all the parties regarding this.
00:33Remember, the attempt is being made to build some sort of a consensus.
00:38At the end of the day, the Prime Minister has spoken about it, appealing to the opposition to throw your weight behind the NDA's candidate for the Vice Presidential elections.
00:47Piyush has more. Piyush are the ministers in question here.
00:51Mr. Rajnath Singh and Kiran Rajnath Singh still working the phones to get consensus from the opposition?
00:59Or has that ship really sailed?
01:01Well, the work is still going on because the government is trying its best to reach out to all the opposition political parties.
01:08What we are told is that Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has spoken to various opposition leaders,
01:12including French Stalin and Malik Arjun Khadge, what we are told is that he is looking forward to speak to various other opposition political parties,
01:22requesting them to extend their support to C.P. Radhakrishnan.
01:25And that's what also we heard in today's NDA's parliamentary party meeting,
01:30when Piyam Marendra Modi spoke about in detail on the background, on the legacy of C.P. Radhakrishnan.
01:35And he also requested a few opposition political parties to support the candidature of C.P. Radhakrishnan.
01:42He belongs to a normal background.
01:49He is a shankarikar.
01:50He has been indulged in, he has been taking part in various social activities.
01:55Remember that the nomination process will take place tomorrow.
01:58So, before that, the government is trying its best to reach out to all opposition political parties to ensure C.P. Radhakrishnan has a wait when the elections take place.
02:08Today, the felicitation program of C.P. Radhakrishnan also took place,
02:12where P.M. Marendra Modi, along with other constituents of NDA, they all felicited C.P. Radhakrishnan.
02:18And while, during that program, we also heard P.M. talking about the legacy of C.P. Radhakrishnan.
02:24So, the government is trying its best to ensure that there is an inside victory of C.P. Radhakrishnan.
02:30On the other side, the opposition political parties are also to hold their meeting today at 12.30 p.m.
02:35where they are going to decide their future course of action, future strategy,
02:40as to how they will be looking into the entire elections.
02:43Tomorrow is the day when NDA's vice presidential candidate, C.P. Radhakrishnan, is going to file his nomination.
02:48Before that, we can expect opposition also to field the candidate.
02:53Opposition would be fielding the candidate as very.
02:55Now, I just want to ask you, Piyush, and explain this to us.
02:58How do the elections really work?
03:01What do the numbers look like at this point in time?
03:03Because, to me, it looks like the NDA is comfortable vis-a-vis the numbers.
03:07You know, explain to us the procedure for the elections.
03:10What is expected?
03:13Yes, NDA has got the numbers and it enjoys the majority in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
03:20And there is no doubt that C.P. Radhakrishnan will win and it will be a cakewalk for him.
03:25As far as the procedure is concerned, tomorrow the nomination will be filed by C.P. Radhakrishnan.
03:30And in that nomination, all NDA-ruled state chief ministers and deputy chief ministers,
03:35along with them, senior leaders of BJP and NDA, will be present.
03:39After the nomination process is filed, then the elections will take place on September 9.
03:45And in that election, all MPs of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha, they will be casting their vote.
03:49And on the very same day, we can also expect results to be out.
03:56But what is more important here is that before the elections on September 9,
04:01there will be a training session also of all the parliamentarians,
04:04of all the parliamentarians from all the groups, from both the groups, from India Bloc and NDA Bloc,
04:12where the government will tell them the process, what all needs to be followed when the elections take place.
04:17So the training of parliamentarians will take place on 6th, 7th and 8th.
04:21And on 9th of September, the voting will take place.
04:24So that's what is the entire process, which is all to be followed.
04:28But it will become very interesting when India Bloc will also come up with its name,
04:33because then again we will see another sort of nomination being filed by the opposition candidate.
04:38And it's going to be India Bloc versus NDA, as far as the vice presidential polls are concerned.
04:44But there is no doubt that C.P. Razakistan enjoys majority and he will have a say when elections take place on September 9.
