Lucknow, Aug 3: The leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party, Mayawati, has endorsed Jagdeep Dhankhar of the NDA for vice president.
“It is well known that due to the lack of consensus between the government and the opposition in the election for the post of the the President, the country’s highest post, the election for it was finally held. Now, due to the same situation, the election for the post of Vice-President is also going to be held on 6th August,” Mayawati tweeted in Hindi.
“In view of the larger public interest and its movement, the BSP has decided to extend its support to Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar in the election for the post of Vice President, which I am also formally announcing today,” she added in another tweet.
2. बीएसपी ने ऐसे में उपराष्ट्रपति पद के लिए हो रहे चुनाव में भी व्यापक जनहित व अपनी मूवमेन्ट को भी ध्यान में रखकर श्री जगदीप धनखड़ को अपना समर्थन देने का फैसला किया है तथा जिसकी मैं आज औपचारिक रूप से घोषणा भी कर रही हूँ। (2/2)

The election for the position of vice president will take place on August 6. This occurs on August 10, 2022, the day before Vice President Venkaiah Naidu’s term ends.
While opposition parties announced Margaret Alva as their nominee, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has named Jagdeep Dhankhar as its vice presidential candidate.
In 1989, Jagdeep Dhankhar, a lawyer by training, entered politics. In July 2019, he was appointed governor of West Bengal, and ever since, his contentious interactions with the Mamata Banerjee administration have garnered media attention. On Sunday, he submitted his letter of resignation as governor of West Bengal.
