Someone make an Indian version of VEEP: Twitter reacts to Venkaiah Naidu as NDA's VP candidate

Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu, a veteran BJP leader from Andhra Pradesh, will be NDA's vice presidential candidate, party president Amit Shah said today. Naidu was chosen at the BJP Parliamentary board meeting here attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior party leaders.  

The 68-year old Naidu currently holds the portfolios of Information and Broadcasting and Housing and Urban Affairs.

The former BJP president is pitted against Gopalkrishna Gandhi, who was chosen by an alliance of 18 opposition parties, including the Congress.

The electoral college for the August 5 election consists of 790 MPs of the two chambers of Parliament. Naidu will file his nomination tomorrow at 11 AM, Shah said.
Tomorrow is the last day for the filing of nominations.

Here's how Twitter reacted: 

Overwhelmed with emotion,
standing still with no motion,
amidst all the commotion!
Congrats on this promotion! :D@MVenkaiahNaidu ji https://t.co/32X4JC8nZo

To think of it Gopal Gandhi & Venkaiah Naidu are both very articulate.But such different styles. One is so cerebral,the other much relatable

Venkaiah Naidu is a great choice. He will make the public aware that there is something as a VP by constantly coming up with acronyms for it

Venkaiah Naidu took to streets in protest against the emergency and was imprisoned. Best Person for #VicePresidential Post.
