Super Six: NDA's Tamil Nadu VP Pick Sparks RSS Row; INDIA Bloc Mulls Counter-Candidate | India Today

This broadcast details Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s first visit to India in over three years, a significant diplomatic event following the Galwan clash in 2020. The visit, occurring from August 18-20, 2025, aims to rebuild relations and address ongoing border issues, including high-level talks with External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval for boundary discussions, and Prime Minister Modi. This diplomatic engagement precedes Prime Minister Modi’s upcoming trip to China for the SCO summit, scheduled for August 31-September 1, 2025, in Tianjin. The program also focuses on the upcoming Vice Presidential election, where the NDA has announced C.P. Radhakrishnan, a BJP veteran from Tamil Nadu and current Maharashtra Governor, as its candidate. This selection is viewed as a political signal ahead of the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, due by April-May 2026. The BJP defends Radhakrishnan’s lifelong association with the RSS, with K. Annamalai stating it is a testament to his nationalism. Conversely, the DMK has labeled the nomination as ‘tokenism’ and a political move, with a spokesperson stating he cannot be considered a representative of Tamil people. In response, the INDIA bloc is reportedly considering fielding its own candidate from Tamil Nadu, with veteran leader Thiruchi Siva’s name emerging as a top contender, to counter the NDA’s strategic choice. #vicepresidentialelection #cpradhakrishnan #indiachinatalks #wangyi #jaishankar #scosummit #bordertensions #nda #bjp #tamilnadu #dmk #indiabloc #kannamalai #politics #super6 #indiatoday #indianpolitics #vicepresident #indialliance #rss #thiruchisiva #sjaishankar #bengaluru
