Since the President is from North, the Vice-President is being selected from the South. Sadasivam hails from the Gounder community of Tamil Nadu. With his candidature, BJP is hoping to strengthen in Tamil Nadu Politics as well.

The Vice-President of India is the second-highest constitutional office in India, after the President. The current Vice-President is Mohammad Hamid Ansari, since 11 August 2007, and re-elected on 7 August 2012.
