INDIA Bloc Meeting On Vice Presidential Candidate Remains Inconclusive

The opposition INDIA Bloc leaders are expected to meet today (August 18, 2025) at the office of Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, to hold crucial talks on fielding a joint candidate for the upcoming vice-presidential election.

The INDIA alliance is likely to begin discussions on the name of its joint candidate for the post of Vice President in a crucial meeting on Monday morning. During this time, the alliance will also formulate a strategy for the proceedings of Parliament, which was badly affected and almost stalled in the monsoon session due to the ‘SIR’ controversy.

According to reports, the floor leaders of the INDIA Bloc will meet among themselves before the proceedings of Parliament begin in the office of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. This meeting is also considered important because it will brainstorm on two important issues, the Vice Presidential election and bringing the activities of Parliament back on track after the long break due to Independence Day.
