THe us congress has insisted that despite BJP-led NDA prospect CP Radhakrishnan's win to suit the next Vice chair of republic of india, it was just an “arithmetical victory” but “really both a moral and political defeat” for the ruling party.Congress communications in-charge Jairam Ramesh noted that the Opposition INDIA bloc's joint candidate, former Supreme Court judge B Sudershan Reddy, got 40% of the vote.“In 2022, the Opposition had received 26% of the vote,” he wrote on X after results of the vice-presidential elections came out.In absolute numbers, though, of the valid votes counted, 542 MPs chose NDA's Radhakrishnan, whereas Reddy of the Congress-led INDIA bloc got 300. This number for Reddy was lower than expected as per pre-election calculations. Ramesh had mentioned 315 Opposition MPs in a post earlier in the day about “100% turnout” for the Opposition.Some MPs may have cross-voted for the NDA or abstained, or their votes held invalid due to marking errors — that was not yet clear.In 2022, the Congress-led Opposition had nominated Margaret Alva as its candidate, who got just below 26% votes as the BJP-led NDA's Jagdeep Dhankhar won. On that count, Ramesh's assessment is correct when comparing 2025 with 2022.Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge congratulated CP Radhakrishnan. “We hope [he] will uphold highest ethos of parliamentary traditions, ensuring equal space for Opposition,” Kharge said.As VP, Radhakrishnan will also be the chairperson of the Rajya Sabha, thus responsible for the conduct of the Upper House of Parliament.He succeeds Dhankhar, whose exit around two months ago remains the subject of mirth and specualtion even though he cited health reasons.Dhankhar had secured the highest number of electoral votes in more than 30 years of VP elections, as there were cases of cross-voting.In the VP election, MPs are not bound by any party whip and can vote in secret as per individual choice.There has been some improvement in the Congress and overall Opposition numbers over this time.The Congress had won just over 50 seats in the Lok Sabha election preceding the 2022 VP contest, in 2019; but that tally crossed 100 after last year's general election.
