Prime Minister Narendra Modi has likely zeroed in on the next vice-president of India. And the person is probably Hukum Narain Yadav from Bihar. Yadav may make it because he is articulate and as vice president he will be the presiding officer in the Rajya Sabha. He is also an MP for three terms, MLA for two terms and was union minister during Atal Bihari Vajpayee's tenure. An ardent follower of Ram Manohar Lohia and Karpuri Thakur, the Prime Minister likes his speeches in the Lok sabha, especially the way he takes on Rahul Gandhi in his inimitable Bihari style.  

Hamid Ansari's term ends on August 2017 after which the election for the Vice President begins. That's almost a year away, but rumour mills don't follow calendars.
