BJP meeting BJP top leaders meet to discuss Rajya Sabha nominations, July's Presidential poll
New Delhi/IBNS: Top Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, including Amit Shah and JP Nadda, held a four-hour meeting on Monday to discuss the Rajya Sabha nominations and July's presidential elections.
With the BJP-led alliance and the opposition set to put up their own candidates for India's new President, this election is sure to grab eyeballs ahead of the 2024 national polls.
BJP leaders met at Nadda's home this evening, a day before nominations begin for polls in 57 Rajya Sabha seats on June 10.
The Rajya Sabha election is likely to have a bearing on the presidential polls, said reports.
Incumbent President Ram Nath Kovind's term ends on July 25.
The opposition is yet to announce a joint candidate for president.
While the BJP has 48.9 per cent of the votes of all MPs and MLAs, the opposition and other parties enjoy 51.1 per cent of the vote.
