New Delhi: With the Election Commission announcing the presidential election on Thursday, the focus is on the YSR Congress and the Biju Janata Dal as the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance is less than halfway through.

whereas PM Modi Will have the final word on deciding the presidential candidate, paving the way for support from YSRCP or BJD NDANominated in the race for the top post of the country. Recently, YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik met Modi in Delhi, though it is not clear what happened during the meeting. Two regional parties have maintained a low profile; both went together BJP In support of Ramnath Kovind in 2017.
Based on current arithmetic, the NDA is nearly 13,000 votes short and support from the BJD, which has over 31,000 votes in the Electoral College, or the YSRCP (over 43,000 votes) will ensure smooth sailing for the BJP-led alliance. The NDA is estimated to have 5.26 lakh votes out of a possible 10.79 lakh votes, which includes elected members of the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and state assemblies. The numbers may change after the current Rajya Sabha elections, but perhaps not enough to change the bigger picture.
