Leaders of the INDIA bloc parties are meeting on Monday to decide on the opposition\u2019s vice president candidate.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has announced Maharashtra governor CP Radhakrishnan from Tamil Nadu as its nominee for the vice-presidential election, which is scheduled to be held on September 9.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is much speculation that the INDIA bloc will also put forward a south Indian face to counter the NDA nominee. The buzz is that the DMK is pushing for Rajya Sabha MP Tiruchi N Siva to be considered as a potential candidate, but according to sources the opposition parties have not even discussed a name.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sources said everyone is putting forward names but it will be a consensus candidate in the end. The Congress has claimed that it will come out with a name that will lead to cross-voting from the BJP, they said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opposition leaders said they are meeting at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge\u2019s residence to decide on their vice president nominee. They said the final name will be conveyed by evening or on Tuesday (August 19).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a meeting at 5.30 pm today. Consultations are going on. We will tell you as soon as something is decided\u2026different parties are making different suggestions\u2026Congress is consulting everyone. Whatever decision is made, it will be conveyed to you by the evening or tomorrow\u2026” Congress MP Syed Naseer Hussain told news agency <\/span>ANI<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hussain said the opposition parties are speaking among themselves and will convey whatever is decided.<\/span><\/p>\n

On speculation that Siva is to be named the opposition\u2019s candidate, CPI(M) MP John Brittas said: \u201cThe BJP was craving to have a person who is part of the RSS. So, they have found an \u2018able candidate\u2019\u2026INDIA bloc parties will discuss, and we are meeting in the evening to talk about the strategy we need to adopt for the vice-presidential election. Anybody can be, he (Tiruchi Siva) is a competent person. There are so many people there. We will find a person.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Siva, meanwhile, said he does not have an idea about the buzz around his name. \u201cI have no idea. Only leaders will decide that\u2026I am not the person to tell that. My leaders are discussing\u2026”<\/span><\/p>\n
