Bhartiya Janata Party(BJP) chief Amit Shah on Monday formed a three-member committee for consultations with political parties for presidential poll.

Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley and Venkaiah Naidu are members of the committee​.

The election to the top constitutional post will be held on July 17. The last date for filing nomination is June 28.

The nomination process will begin from June 14 with the issuance of a notification and the counting of votes will take place on July 20 in New Delhi.

The electorate, comprising elected Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members and members of state assemblies, is tilted in favour of the NDA, but the opposition is trying to woo some regional parties to support their candidate.

The BJP president Amit Shah also postponed his visit to Arunachal Pradesh and the party is likely to defer its national executive meeting scheduled for July 15-16 in view of the presidential election.
