NDA’s Dhankhar files nomination

NDA’s vice-presidential candidate West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar filed his nomination on Monday in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He filed his nomination papers for the Vice-President’s post on the day when Presidential elections are being held.

His name was announced for the second top constitutional post by BJP chief Jagat Prakash Nadda on Saturday.

Immediately after filing the nomination, Dhankhar said that he will strive for the democratic values of the country. “I will always strive to enhance the democratic values of the country. Never thought even in my dreams that a person with a humble background like me will get this opportunity.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, BJP chief Nadda was present when Dhankar filed his nomination.

JP Nadda said Dhankhar was a “Kisan-Putra” (son of a farmer) who has established himself as a “people’s governor”. Nadda has also urged all the parties including UPA allies to support the NDA vice presidential candidate.

Dhankhar, who is a lawyer by profession, entered into politics in 1989.
