According to New Delhi-based publications, M. venkaiah naidu, the vice president of India, may soon be required to leave active politics once his term expires in August. When they contacted venkaiah at his home on june 21, senior bjp members—including Union ministers amit shah and rajnath singh and party national president J P Nadda—reportedly informed him that he might not be nominated for the Vice President position again.

They did, however, reassure him that he would receive "appropriate" compensation for his contributions to the party and the country. There are hints that venkaiah will join the BJP's margadarshak mandal, which includes seasoned leaders like L K Advani, murli manohar joshi, sumitra Mahajan, etc. In a sense, it would be Venkaiah's "virtual retirement," as he will never hold another lower-level office after serving as India's Vice-President. He won't have much influence on the party's policy choices because the advisory council is merely a ceremonial group.

According to sources, the BJP's policy is that individuals who have reached the age of 75 are not eligible to run in the general elections and hence are not permitted to participate actively in the party. However, they are qualified for the positions of president and vice president. However, according to party rules, venkaiah, who is only 72 years old, still has three years of political life left. However, the party decided to prevent him from engaging in politics while he was still 67 years old. There is no other position he can take at this time since he has already served as India's vice-president and has not been proposed for the President's position. He is not eligible for another Lok or rajya sabha seat.
