While the NDA has fielded former Union minister M Venkaiah Naidu as its vice-presidential candidate, former West Bengal Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi is the Opposition candidate. In the presidential election last month, the votes of 21 MPs, including many BJP members, were declared invalid. At the NDA dinner on Friday, a book titled Tireless Voice, Relentless Journey: Key Speeches of M Venkaiah Naidu was released. We are fortunate to have the benefit of leadership of Shri Venkaiah Naidu in the House. The NDA has 337 MPs in the Lok Sabha and 80 in the Rajya Sabha.
