Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Saturday said that he has no idea who will be the next Vice President of the country after Jagdeep Dhankhar\u2019s sudden resignation; however, he added that it is clear that the person will be a nominee of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).<\/p>\n

\u201cAll we know is that it will be somebody whom the ruling party nominates, as we already know the composition of the electorate. It\u2019s the two houses of Parliament. Unlike the Presidential election, where the state assemblies also vote. For the Vice President, it\u2019s only the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. So we already know the majority. I think it\u2019s fairly clear that the next vice president will be the nominee of the ruling party,” Tharoor said.<\/p>\n
