NDA Vice-President candidate to be finalised on Sunday
On August 6, NDA allies passed a unanimous resolution on the Vice-Presidential poll. However, they left the final decision to Modi, Nadda and senior ministers.
Since then, speculation has grown over the likely nominee. Former Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu and RSS ideologue Seshadri Chari are reportedly among the names being considered.
