New Delhi: The Vice Presidential candidate of India alliance and retired Judge B Sudarshan Reddy of the Supreme Court addressed the opposition MPs at the reception in the Constitution House. He said that I am a little nervous, perhaps a little excited and a little thrilling, and my happiness is not a place. When you address the nation on various issues, I keep listening to all of you, from my seats. He said that I keep listening to most of you, perhaps every one of you, what is happening in the country and since I have come from the same ideology. Therefore, I have remembered a line of Lohia ji that ‘When the road is silent, the House becomes stray.

Opposition Vice Presidential candidate and retired Judge B Sudarshan Reddy of the Supreme Court said that Rahul Gandhi does not let the roads remain silent. Facing challenges one after the other has become part of their journey. They were raising the issue of caste census. He successfully persuaded the Telangana government to do it systematically. When this work was completed and I was presenting the report, I said that it would be a challenge for the Center and eventually agreed to conduct the Union Caste census.
Sudarshan Reddy kept the constitution in his pocket for 52 years, it matches our ideology: Rahul Gandhi
At the reception ceremony of India Block Vice Presidential candidate B Sudarshan Reddy, Lok Sabha leader and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said that all of you must have heard about the new bill proposed by the BJP. We are going back in the medieval period when the king could remove anyone from his will. What is an elected person? There was no concept of this. He does not like your face, so he asks the ED to register a case. Then, a democratically chosen person is removed within 30 days. Do not forget why we are choosing the Vice President? Where did the former Vice President go? He went away.
Lok Sabha leader and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said that many things can be said about Sudarshan Reddy ji. They have decades of judicial and legal experience. He is the champion of constitutional values. I looked inside his pocket and there was the Constitution of India. He said that he has been keeping the Constitution in his pocket for 52 years.
The ruling party has chosen the ideology of RSS for the post of Vice President, while we support the Constitution: Mallikarjun Kharge
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge while addressing opposition MPs in the Constitution House said that it is with great pride and firm belief that the opposition party B.K. Sudarshan Reddy nominates his joint candidate for the post of Vice President of India. They have been fearless and supportive of social, economic and political equality. This Vice Presidential election is not just an election for one post. This is an ideological battle. While the ruling party has chosen the ideology of the RSS, we support the Constitution.
He said that the credibility of India’s democratic politics rests on a strong platform of the Parliament where members can express the complaints and aspirations of people representing independent and impartially. Constitutional amendments to weaken the basic values of parliamentary democracy and federalism are being included in the deception at the end of the session, which saves no scope for meaningful debate or investigation. Now, these new bills are going to be weapons in the hands of the ruling party to more weak and unstable democratically elected governments in these states. In Parliament, we have seen the growing trend to suppress the voices of the opposition.
He said that the country has a B.C. Exemplary fair judges like Sudarshan Reddy are required. His nomination represents our collective resolution to protect and maintain democratic ideals and define India. The life and work of Shri Reddy reflects the spirit of our Constitution, fairness, compassion and commitment to the empowerment of every citizen. These principles will guide his leadership as the Vice President and the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and will ensure that the House operates as a true version of a democratic dialogue.

NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar said that the unity of the opposition is very important in this Vice Presidential election. Kharge ji Sudarshan Reddy was consulted with all the parties before choosing a candidate. After extensive deliberations, we decided to field only one candidate. This will make the people of India realize the unity of the opposition.
CPI (M) MP John Britas said that this is an ideological war, in a period when democracy is a huge threat from those who have to protect it, when our beloved institutions are surrounded. There is an urgent need for clarity and rationality, this is the candidature of Justice Sudarshan Reddy. We have seen how this government has treated the second biggest position? The person was truly humiliated, forced to resign. I have seen many Vice Presidents. The level of parliamentary dialogue has fallen, I think B Sudarshan Reddy’s candidature stands as a powerful lighting pillar for the restoration of democratic values.
AAP leader Sanjay Singh said that AAP supports the candidature of B Sudarshan Reddy for the post of Vice President. When we are deciding the candidates for the post of Vice President, a bill is being passed in Parliament, which provides for defections, demolition of governments, sending chief ministers and opposition leaders to jail, it is unfortunate. I was suspended for 11 months, we protested, so we want a person like B Sudarshan Reddy as Vice President who lets us speak, do not suspend us.
