B Sudershan Reddy, the opposition's vice presidential candidate, has openly challenged the ideological stance of his adversary, NDA nominee C P Radhakrishnan. Reddy characterized Radhakrishnan as an archetypal RSS supporter, while declaring himself a liberal constitutional democrat who staunchly opposes RSS principles.
The former Supreme Court judge dismissed any notions of a regional conflict, stating, "It is a contest representing two different ideologies." Reddy reaffirmed his commitment to inclusive governance, emphasizing that the election is not a South versus North issue but a competition of principles.
Reddy intends to appeal to MPs for their votes, emphasizing the election's basis on individual parliamentary support rather than political party alignment. The election, triggered by Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation, is set for September 9.
