New Delhi, August 8, 2025:
Senior BJP leader from Telangana, *Dr. K. Laxman, is emerging as a front-runner in the race for the post of *Vice President of India. According to sources within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), his name is being actively considered for nomination ahead of the upcoming election for the Vice President’s post.
Dr. Laxman currently serves as a *Member of Rajya Sabha, **National President of the BJP OBC Morcha, and is also a key member of the BJP’s *Parliamentary Board — the party’s highest decision-making body. With his strong organisational experience and significant influence among backward classes, political observers believe his elevation could send a strong message ahead of crucial state elections.
Why Dr. Laxman’s Name Matters
If chosen, Dr. Laxman would be the first leader from Telangana to occupy the Vice President’s chair. His political journey — from being a grassroots leader to holding national responsibilities — reflects his deep-rooted commitment to public service. His nomination could strengthen the BJP’s outreach to OBC communities and bolster its presence in southern India.
Political analysts say that the BJP may strategically project Dr. Laxman to counter regional narratives and consolidate its backward class vote bank on a national scale. His clean image, disciplined leadership, and decades of service within the party add weight to his candidacy.
NDA’s Final Decision Awaited
While no official confirmation has come from the NDA leadership yet, internal deliberations are reportedly in the final stages. Dr. Laxman’s growing prominence in national politics, coupled with the BJP’s focus on inclusive representation, makes him a strong and symbolic contender.
An announcement regarding the NDA’s official nominee is expected soon, as the Vice Presidential election schedule is likely to be released in the coming days.
