Opposition Vice-Presidential candidate Justice (Retd) B Sudershan Reddy today filed his nomination papers.

He filed the nomination in presence of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut and other INDIA Bloc leaders.

Meanwhile, Reddy in a statement expressed gratitude to the Opposition for nominating him as a joint candidate for the Vice President of India.

“This election is not merely about one individual. It is about reaffirming the idea of India as envisaged by our founders, an India where Parliament functions with integrity, where dissent is respected and where institutions serve the people with independence and fairness,” he said.

He asserted that if elected as the Vice President of India, he would discharge the role of the Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha with “impartiality, dignity, and a steadfast commitment to dialogue and decorum”.

“With faith in our Constitution and hope in our people, I embark on this journey. May our democratic spirit continue to guide us all,” he said.

The Congress, backing the Opposition candidate, said on X, “We, the Opposition parties, are united in our support for Shri Reddy. We are confident that his wisdom, integrity, and dedication will lead our nation toward a future grounded in justice and unity.”
