While the BJP -led NDA made CP Radhakrishnan a candidate for the Vice Presidential election, the Congress -led India Block, a Congress -led India Block, B.B. Sudarshan Reddy has been made a joint candidate. Due to this, the contest of the election of the post of Vice President has become very interesting, because India Block has made it clear that it is an ideological fight.
Through CP Radhakrishnan, the India Block, which was stuck in the ‘Tamil’ stance of BJP, has run a tremendous ‘Sudarshan Chakra’ on Tuesday by relying on the non-political face for the post of Vice President. B. Along with keeping Sudarshan a candidate, along with keeping the opposition united, the partners and supporting parties of the ruling party have also been entangled.
NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan comes from Tamil Nadu, while India Block candidate B.K. Sudarshan Reddy is from Rangreddy district of Telangana, which used to be in Andhra Pradesh at one time. The BJP’s political pan is heavy in the Vice Presidential elections, but the Congress has given B.K. By removing Sudarshan, along with conveying the message of opposition unity, the NDA allies have been confused.
Opposition fielded non-political face
India Block candidate B.K. Sudarshan is a non-political face, he has not been associated with any political party. This is the reason that the opposition seems to be fully standing together. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, NCP President Sharad Pawar, SP MP Dharmendra Yadav, DMK MP Kanimozhi and TMC MP Shatabdi Roy, including India Block leaders, for the Vice President. Sudarshan was declared a joint candidate of opposition. Mamta Banerjee’s party, who is away from voting in the 2022 Vice Presidential elections, is standing with full vigor.
After having a consensus on Reddy, Aam Aadmi Party to Mamta is together. TMC leader Derek O’Brien has met Arvind Kejriwal and took support in the name of Sudarshan Reddy. B. In the name of Sudarshan, the India block seems to be completely united. Apart from this, the Aam Aadmi Party, which has separated from India block, B.C. Has supported Sudarshan.
Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh said that this fight is not only limited to Vice Presidential elections, but it is a fight between the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Constitution. He said that BJP candidates are linked to RSS, while the common candidate of opposition parties B.K. Sudarshan Reddy never associated with any political party or any particular ideology. He has been a former Judge of the Supreme Court and is always known for fairness and honesty.
Party entangled in opposition’s ‘Sudarshan Chakra’
The way the BJP announced the name of CP Radhakrishnan, the way the DMK had implicated the DMK, similarly, now from India Block, B.K. After Sudarshan became a candidate, religious conversations have arisen for leaders like Chandrababu Naidu, Jagan Mohan Reddy and KCR. B. Sudarshan Reddy is born in Rangadydi district of Andhra Pradesh, which is currently part of Telangana. In this way, the political satraps of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are also being considered as a bet.
If TDP is in power in Andhra Pradesh, YSR Congress is the main opposition party. BRS is in opposition in Telangana. BRS and YSR are neither with NDA nor with India Block. In this way, the role of TDP to YSR and KCR in the Vice President’s election is very important. Apart from this, the BJD is also not with any alliance.
Chandrababu Naidu is the CM of Andhra Pradesh, the head of the NDA’s big colleague TDP. TDP claimed to be with NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan before Sudarshan Reddy, but now a situation of Kashmaksh has arisen in front of him. The same religious is also standing with Jagan Mohan Reddy of YSR Congress. The opposition has fielded Jagan Reddy by taking off the Telugu candidate.
B.B. By making Sudarshan a candidate, the main opposition party in the state has also increased the tension in front of BRS. KCR has three members in the Rajya Sabha and one Lok Sabha MP. BRS MP KR Suresh said that he has been supporting the government on the issues of national interest, but no decision has been taken on who has to support the Vice President’s election now.
The BJD has also not opened its cards yet, but after the change in the politics of Odisha in 2024, Naveen Patnaik has distanced the BJP. The manner in which the opposition has brought out the non-political face, the BJD is trapped in the Kashmaksh. The opposition has made a plan to break into the fortification of NDA along with keeping the opposition united and keeping the opposition united.
India block has a big political bets
B. Sudarshan retired from the Supreme Court in 2011. Recently, a committee constituted to analyze the data of a caste survey conducted by the Congress government in Telangana has been led. At the same time, CP Radhakrishnan has come out of the RSS school and has been associated with BJP through Jana Sangh. This is the reason that India Block, while stating the fight for ideology, B.C. Announced Sudarshan’s name.
Opposition can exercise Sudarshan Reddy to present Sudarshan Reddy as a pioneer of social justice against Radhakrishnan. Their association with Telangana caste survey is expected to help this. Apart from this, Sudarshan Reddy is also helping the Karnataka government of the Congress to prepare caste survey informally, which is being done afresh. The opposition wants to create a narrator through the strong credibility of Reddy and the background of social justice as a former Supreme Court judge. In this way, the India Block is eyeing those parties whose basis is on Dalits and OBC votes.
How was Vice Presidential election interesting
Members of both houses of Parliament vote in the election of the Vice Presidential post. In this way, there are a total of 782 MPs of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, out of which BJP -led NDA currently has the support of 418 MPs. The NDA has 26 votes more than 392 members required to win the post of Vice President. Apart from this, BJP can get the support of seven nominated and about two out of three independents in the Rajya Sabha. At the same time, Jagdeep Dhankhar, who was the candidate of NDA in the 2022 election, got 528 votes and Margaret Alva got only 182 votes.
Now political conditions have changed. It will not be easy for the NDA to get the support of the YSRCP of Andhra Pradesh, who have seven members in the Rajya Sabha. After 2024, BJP’s relationship with BJD has deteriorated. The BSP has only one vote left while earlier it had the support of 12 MPs. Apart from this, BJP’s relationship with Akali Dal to AIADMK has been broken. Apart from this, the strength of the opposition has become stronger than before. Apart from this, the way the opposition has given B.C. Sudarshan has been removed, even a political picture can change.
