Former Supreme Court Judge B. Sudershan Reddy was fielded as the INDIA alliance’s candidate for the Vice President post on Tuesday. Congress MPs Rajeev Shukla, Syed Naseer Hussain, Mallu Ravi, and Pramod Tiwari extended him a warm welcome as he arrived at Delhi Airport.
In his first public reaction after being named the I.N.D.I.A bloc’s vice-presidential candidate, Reddy shared his thoughts with the media. “Thank you for projecting me as a candidate on behalf of the INDIA Alliance. But for you, it would not have been possible… As a candidate, I would humbly request and appeal to all the Parliamentarians to support my candidature,” the ex-Supreme Court judge said. “I am very, very happy. Thank you,” he added.
