“The Prime Minister was planning to host dinner for the NDA MPs, and Nadda ji was to host dinner for the BJP MPs. All have been called off due to the extreme flood situation and the sufferings of the people in Punjab and the surrounding areas. In such a sensitive and such a difficult moment, we can’t be having a dinner party for election purposes. So all have been called off,” Rijiju said.
The PM Modi was scheduled to host a dinner for National Democratic Alliance (NDA) MPs on September 8, a day before the Vice-Presidential election on September 9.
The election will be conducted through the system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote. To be declared elected, a candidate must secure more than 50 per cent of the valid votes polled.
The NDA has fielded Maharashtra Governor and BJP veteran CP Radhakrishnan, who hails from Tamil Nadu, as its nominee. The opposition has put forward former Supreme Court Judge Justice Reddy from Telangana as its joint candidate. (ANI)
