Between 1998 to 2004, Yashwant Sinha was the minister of finance and external affairs in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee administrations. He has been one of the most vocal opponents of the Narendra Modi-led administration ever since he left the party in 2018.

Indian Presidential Election 2022 on July 18, NDA very close to halfway mark

The YSR Congress and Biju Janata Dal are in the limelight as the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance is barely shy of the halfway point after the Poll Commission announced the presidential election on Thursday.

The deadline for candidates to submit their paperwork is June 29. Voting and counting are set for July 18 and 21, respectively.

Support from the YSRCP or BJD would help the NDA's nominee in the contest for the nation's highest post, however PM Modi will ultimately decide who will run for president.
