New Delhi: In a notable interaction highlighting the spirit of collaborative leadership, Dr. Vikramjit Singh Sahney, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) from Punjab and a prominent philanthropist, had the distinct honor of meeting India’s newly elected Vice President, Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan, today.
The encounter underscores the ongoing efforts to bolster India’s democratic framework amid the nation’s progressive journey.
Sahney, a Padma Shri awardee known for his extensive work in education, social reform, and skill development through his NGO, Sun Foundation, described the meeting as a “pleasure” on his official Facebook page, where he commands over 81,000 followers.
In a poignant post, he praised Radhakrishnan’s “simplicity, vision, and deep connect with the people,” while extending wishes for a “successful tenure in strengthening our democratic institutions and collectively taking the country on a progressive path.”
Accompanying the message was a shared photograph capturing the warm exchange between the two leaders, symbolizing unity and shared commitment to national advancement. The post quickly garnered positive responses from followers, including tributes to Radhakrishnan’s recent ascension to the vice presidency on September 12, 2025, following the election after former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation.
Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan, a seasoned BJP leader and former Governor of Maharashtra, assumed office as India’s 15th Vice President just weeks ago, bringing his decades of experience in public service and grassroots politics to the role. His election, secured with 452 votes in a contest against opposition candidate B. Sudershan Reddy, has been hailed as a stabilizing force for the upper house of Parliament.
Sahney, who has been vocal on key issues like farmer welfare, apprenticeship reforms, and humanitarian evacuations (including over 500 Afghan minorities during crises), used the platform to reaffirm his dedication to equitable societal growth. As Vice Chairman of the National Apprenticeship Council and a member of key parliamentary committees on Finance and External Affairs, Sahney’s engagement with the Vice President signals potential synergies in policy advocacy.
This meeting comes at a pivotal time, with Radhakrishnan set to chair his first multi-party leaders’ session in Parliament tomorrow, focusing on legislative priorities. Political observers view such cross-leadership interactions as vital for fostering dialogue in India’s diverse democracy.
