Sudershan Reddy: Champion of Civil Liberties and Constitution Defender

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin commended Sudershan Reddy, the INDIA bloc's vice-presidential nominee, as a stalwart for civil liberties and social justice. He asserted that Reddy's candidacy bolsters the conviction to defend democracy and the Constitution during an era of institutional challenges.

Justice B Sudershan Reddy, a former Supreme Court judge, began his legal career in the Andhra Pradesh High Court, specializing in civil and constitutional law. Stalin emphasized Reddy's unwavering dedication to constitutional principles and highlighted the threats to these ideals posed by the current political landscape.

Stalin criticized the ruling BJP government's policies, asserting that they undermine Tamil Nadu's rights and centralize power, which he believes destabilizes federalism and democratic processes. He called for supporting leaders like Reddy, who embodies India's core values of secularism and social justice.
