Sudershan Reddy thanks I.N.D.I.A. bloc for picking him as Vice President candidate

New Delhi: Justice B Sudershan Reddy, the Opposition Vice Presidential candidate, arrived in the national capital on Tuesday, hours after the announcement of his candidature and appealed to all MPs to support him.

Justice Reddy said he is happy for being chosen as the candidate for the simple reason that the I.N.D.I.A. bloc is represented by a number of parties.

Reddy, who was received by senior Opposition MPs at the Delhi airport, told reporters, “thank you all for projecting me as a candidate on behalf of I.N.D.I.A bloc.”

He said parties as such do not vote in the Vice Presidential election and it is the MPs who participate in the polling.

“As a candidate, I would humbly request and appeal to all the Parliamentarians to support my candidature,” he said.

At the airport, Justice Reddy was welcomed by Opposition MPs, including Syed Naseer Hussain, Pramod Tewari, Satabdi Roy, Imran Pratapgarhi, Rajiv Shukla, Rajani Patil and Mahua Majhi among others.
