Who is CP Radhakrishnan, India's new Vice President?

CP Radhakrishnan was elected India's Vice President on September 9, nearly two months after former VP Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from the post on July 21, citing health reasons.

A two-term member of the Lok Sabha from Coimbatore during the tenure of prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Radhakrishnan came close to becoming a Union minister, but had to lose out to fellow Tamilan Pon Radhakrishnan in 1998 after some confusion over his name by the then floor managers of the BJP.

Heartiest congratulations to Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan ji on being elected as the Vice President of India May our country attain new milestones of development under his dynamic visionary leadership.

Congrats CP Radhakrishnan ji. Good that we don't have another traitor and Naxal sympathizer as our VP after Hamid Ansari.

If anyone is wondering Search the history of Opposition Candidate.

During the peak of Naxalism the Chattisgarh police and armed forces combined formed an Anti Naxal front using the locals called Salwa Judum. But this VP candidate who was CJI that time banned that outfit on humanitarian ground that Naxals deserved to live also. That pushed back India by 5-10 years in battle with Naxals.
