Oppn VP Candidate Reddy Would Win with Historic Mandate: Akhilesh
In the upcoming Vice Presidential election, the Opposition’s pick, B Sudershan Reddy, has received a significant boost with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav expressing his confidence in Reddy’s victory. Yadav recently met Reddy and termed the election a “fight for justice and not merely for power.”
The meeting between Yadav and Reddy came ahead of the September 9 polls, which have taken on a new significance in the current political scenario. The Opposition parties have rallied behind Reddy, a former judge of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, to take on the ruling party’s candidate in the election.
Yadav, who has been a vocal critic of the ruling party, sees Reddy as the ideal candidate to lead the fight for justice. “In the current political scenario, what better option can there be than a judge to lead this battle for justice?” he asked. The Samajwadi Party chief believes that Reddy’s experience as a judge will help him navigate the complex political landscape and ensure a fair and just outcome in the election.
Reddy’s candidature has been seen as a symbol of the Opposition’s determination to challenge the ruling party’s dominance. The Opposition parties have been vocal about their concerns over the erosion of democratic institutions and the increasing concentration of power in the hands of a few individuals.
Yadav’s endorsement of Reddy is a significant development in the run-up to the polls. The Samajwadi Party chief has a strong following in Uttar Pradesh and his support can make a significant difference in the election outcome.
Reddy, who was appointed as the Vice Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in 2018, has a reputation for being a strong advocate of human rights and social justice. His candidature has been seen as a breath of fresh air in the political arena, where the focus is often on power and prestige rather than substance and principles.
The Opposition parties have been critical of the ruling party’s approach to governance, accusing it of being authoritarian and anti-democratic. Reddy’s candidature is seen as a way to counterbalance the ruling party’s dominance and ensure that the voice of the Opposition is heard.
The Vice Presidential election is not just a symbolic contest, but also has significant implications for the functioning of the country’s institutions. The Vice President serves as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and plays a crucial role in the country’s governance structure.
Reddy’s victory would be a significant setback for the ruling party and a morale booster for the Opposition parties. It would also send a strong message to the government that the Opposition will not back down from a fight and will continue to challenge its authority.
In the current political climate, Reddy’s candidature is seen as a way to inject some much-needed fresh air into the political system. His experience as a judge and his reputation for being a champion of social justice make him an attractive candidate for the Opposition parties.
As the election campaign heats up, it remains to be seen how the ruling party will respond to Reddy’s candidature. However, one thing is clear: Reddy’s victory would be a historic mandate for the Opposition parties and a significant setback for the ruling party.
