The Opposition will conduct a short training programme for all its MPs on September 8, a day ahead of the Vice-Presidential election. While the National Democratic Alliance has a clear edge in the election, the Opposition is hoping to minimise the victory margin of government nominee C.P. Radhakrishnan.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has reached out to the floor leaders of the Opposition parties, inviting them and their colleagues to the training programme.
