The 2002 Indian vice-presidential election was held on 12 August 2002 to elect the newly-vacated post of Vice-President of India. Bhairon Singh Shekhawat defeated Sushil Kumar Shinde to become 11th Vice President of India. Incumbent VP Krishan Kant did not contest the election and died before the election occurred.
The Indian vice presidential election was held in the summer.
Although it would be summer in the united states, it would technically be Monsoon season in India when the election occurs, making the statement neither correct or incorrect.
