Venkaiah Naidu to receive more than 60% votes

New Delhi, July 20: M Venkaiah Naidu, a member of the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Vice Presidential Elections, is likely to vote for more than 60% of the MPs.

At present, there are 788 people in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, with at least 485 supporters. BJP sources believe this figure will rise as election day is approaching.

The success of Venkiah Naidu's victory will be as good as the Opposition candidate Gopalakrishna Gandhi. Vice Presidential elections will be held on August 5.

The total strength of the electoral college with MPs is 790 votes. This figure has dropped to 788, after Vinod Khanna and Anil Madhav Dave were recently dead. After the death of Vinod Khanna, the NDA strength in the 544-member Lok Sabha was reduced to 337.

Three non-NDA parties—the AIADMK, TRS and YSR Congress—have also announced their support to Naidu, taking the number of lawmakers backing him up by 54 in the Lok Sabha and 17 in Rajya Sabha.
