Naidu calls on Vajpayee and Advani on day of nomination

The NDA's vice presidential candidate M Venkaiah Naidu today called on ailing former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and other party veterans L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi on the day when he filed his nomination for the high constitutional post.
He also met leaders of various parties, including non-NDA outfits such as the AIADMK, YSRCP and TRS, which have announced their support to him, the former minister said in a series of Tweets.
Naidu met Advani at his residence and then called on Joshi before the two seniors joined him for the nomination- filing process.
He then drove to Vajpayee's residence for his "blessings", he tweeted.

Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav has also extended his support to him, Naidu said.
The BJP's Parliamentary Board yesterday chose Naidu as the NDA's vice presidential nominee.
He and opposition candidate Gopalkrishna Gandhi filed their nominations today for the August 5 poll.
