Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath congratulated M Venkaiah Naidu on his election as the vice-president.
"It is the positive thinking of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah that the country has got as the vice-president a leader who has always ably discharged his responsibilities," according to an official release quoting the chief minister.
Naidu has a long experience in public life and his election to the post of vice-president is also a matter of pride for farmers and rural people, the release added.
NDA nominee Naidu was today elected as India's next vice-president, receiving an overwhelming two-third votes against opposition candidate Gopalkrishna Gandhi.
Born to a humble agricultural family in Andhra Pradesh's Nellore district, the 68-year-old has served as BJP president, minister in various portfolios and a long-time Rajya Sabha member.
