Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday claimed that many Opposition MPs had voted in favour of the NDA vice-presidential candidate CP Radhakrishnan, who won the election, defeating the INDIA bloc candidate Justice B Sudershan Reddy.
CPI(M) MP John Brittas said the Opposition organised a mock poll ahead of the Vice Presidential election to minimise invalid votes. He called the contest an "ideological battle" and said cross-voting was possible as some MPs might vote "as per their desire."
Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra and Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi specifically targeted the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, 2025, which seeks to remove a Central or State Minister who is facing allegations of corruption or serious offences and has been detained for at least 30 days
