NDA candidate and Maharashtra -Governor CP Radhakrishnan was chosen on Tuesday until 14th Vice President of India, who defeated his rival India Bloc candidate B Sudershan Reddy comfortably. Radhakrishnan interviewed 452 of the total 767 votes, while Reddy 300 managed, a figure that showed cracks in the opposition list as a result of cross voices by some opposition members.
The voting figures clearly show that there was a significant intersection of MPs of opposition, although the figures were before the elections in Radhakrishnan.
Of the 788 eligible members of parliament, 767 exercised their franchise with the Vice Presidential elections, which marked a rise of 98.2 percent. No fewer than 752 votes were valid and 15 were invalid, recurring officer PC Mody announced in a press conference.
Thirteen MPs refrain from voices, including seven of the Janata Dal (BJD), four of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), one of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and one independent MP.
The elections came 50 days after Jagdeep Dhankhar was taken out of the post on July 21 in a surprising movement during the first day of the monsoon session, those reasons for health reasons.

The NDA has 425 MPs and also received the support of the YSR Congress Party (11 MPS), which brings its count to 436. The India block is now supported by 324 MPs.
