Opposition parties have endorsed B Sudershan Reddy, lauding his credentials as a constitutional defender, for the vice-presidential polls on September 9. The election is seen as an ideological battle against the ruling BJP's perceived authoritarianism, with Reddy symbolizing constitutional values and human rights advocacy.

The announcement of B Sudershan Reddy as the opposition candidate for the vice-presidential polls was met with applause from various political factions. Praised for his constitutional values, the former Supreme Court judge was seen as a symbol of ideological resistance.

Congress leaders highlighted Reddy's exemplary career, with Rahul Gandhi emphasizing his commitment to justice and democracy. Similarly, from Kashmir's Omar Abdullah to the CPI's P Sandosh Kumar, support was unanimous in viewing the election as a pivotal battle for constitutional integrity.

With widespread discontent over the perceived imposition of the election, the contest reflects deeper tensions between opposition ideals and BJP's governance, driving Reddy's nomination as not just a choice, but a statement of democratic principles.
