CP Radhakrishnan Becomes India’s New Vice President | Vantage with Palki Sharma

India has a new Vice President—C.P. Radhakrishnan, a senior BJP leader from Tamil Nadu. Backed by the ruling NDA, his election marks a significant political moment. Radhakrishnan's rise began in 1998 in Coimbatore, a city shaken by terror attacks. His victory then helped the BJP gain ground in the south. Over the years, he served as MP, BJP state president, and Governor. Now, he takes over as Rajya Sabha Chairman. His elevation shows BJP’s push to expand beyond its traditional base—rewarding loyalty, strengthening southern ties, and signaling a broader political strategy. What does this mean for Indian politics?
