President and Vice President both to be from SC & ST community?

Sources close to the two big power centres in the ruling BJP believe that the party is all set to send a strong message for the coming Presidential and Vice Presidential elections . In the 75th year of Indian Independence, the country is likely to have both the President and the Vice President from both the SC and ST community.  Sources say that this is a double edged benefit for the ruling party. On one hand, it wants to send a strong social message on the occasion of ‘Azadi ka Amrit’ Mahotsav. Secondly, the party doesn't want to leave no stone unturned to garner the SC, ST, vote bank for the ensuing assembly elections in major states like,  Gujarat,  MP , Rajasthan , Chhattisgarh and, Jharkhand etc.
