Modi to Address NDA Meeting After Long Hiatus Amidst Political Tensions

After a lengthy interval, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the NDA parliamentary party meeting, drawing MPs from the ruling coalition to strategize on imminent political and electoral issues. This pivotal gathering comes ahead of the vice president nomination filings amidst rising tensions with the Opposition.

The meeting precedes significant electoral events, occurring prior to the opening of nominations on August 7 for the vice presidency. The NDA is expected to nominate a candidate, leveraging their majority in the electoral college for a probable victory by the end of the nomination period on August 21.

With the parliamentary session recently stifled by opposition protests over Bihar's electoral roll revisions, Modi is anticipated to address these allegations while reinforcing the government's recent military stance post-attack. The vice president poll, with an electoral college of 782 MPs, is scheduled for September 9 if an opposition candidate competes.
