There is going to be a contest in the Vice Presidential election that is numerically tilted towards the ruling NDA, but the opposition party is calling it an ideological battle. Despite a clear majority in Parliament, the India faction has nominated former Supreme Court Judge B Sudarshan Reddy as its candidate. For them, this match is less than arithmetic and more than symbolism. A joint statement issued by India Block announced that the Vice Presidential election is an ideological battle and emphasized that Reddy is a symbol of values that shaped our freedom movement.

Senior leaders argue that the decision to contest elections was never in doubt. A source said that not fighting would mean the NDA had to hand over the victory served in the plate. He further stated that the opposition wanted to give a message: In the political battlefield, it is necessary to resist rather than surrendered. Congress MP KC Venugopal said that this is an ideological battle. The country does not know the reason for the resignation of the previous Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar … On the one hand, we are fighting for constitutional rights … This country is facing big ideological issues. We are fighting to save the Constitution.
DMK MP Kanimozhi said that the entire party has united to field a candidate with RSS background against BJP candidate. He said that this is an ideological battle. Therefore, the opposition parties have united to choose a candidate against a candidate with RSS background. The candidate who has been elected by the opposition respects the Constitution. Just because you (BJP) is a candidate from Tamil Nadu, it does not mean that you care about Tamil Nadu, Tamil language or state values. “
Other MPs also expressed similar views, Syed Naseer Hussain of Congress said that Reddy fought for constitutional values and social justice. Hussein said, “He was the Chief Justice of the Guwahati High Court and a judge of the Supreme Court. He fought for constitutional values and social justice.

India coalition will win in this election.” Congress MP K.K. Suresh said, “All opposition members agreed to the candidature of B. Sudarshan Reddy.
