Mayawati announces support for NDA's vice presidential candidate Jagdeep Dhankhar

New Delhi: Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati on Wednesday announced her party’s support for NDA’s vice presidential candidate Jagdeep Dhankhar. Making the announcement on Twitter, she said, “Keeping in mind the larger public interest and the party movement, the Bahujan Samaj Party has decided to support Jagdeep Dhankhar in the vice presidential poll.”

The BJP had last month named Jagdeep Dhankhar, a Jat leader from Rajasthan with socialist background, as the ruling National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) vice presidential candidate. Dhankar stepped down as West Bengal governor after he was named the NDA’s presidential nominee. The Opposition has fielded Congress leader and former Rajasthan governor Margaret Alva as its candidate. The Mayawati-led party had also supported NDA’s presidential candidate Droupadi Murmu.
