PM Modi to address NDA parliamentary meeting

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the BJP-led NDA parliamentary party meeting on Tuesday, a get-together of the ruling alliance’s MPs which is being held after a considerable gap.

The NDA meeting comes a couple of days before the filing of nomination for the vice president’s election begins on August 7. The NDA will have to announce its candidate, whose election will be a certainty due to the alliance’s majority in the electoral college, by August 21, the last date of nomination-filing and the Monsoon session of Parliament.

The meeting comes in the middle of the Parliament session which has been all but a washout so far, except for a two-day discussion on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, due to a united opposition’s ceaseless protests against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in Bihar by the Election Commission.
