B. Sudershan Reddy

New Delhi: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has named B. Sudershan Reddy as INDIA alliance candidate for the Vice President post. The key leader of opposition parties held an online meeting on Monday evening and decided in principle to field a vice-presidential candidate. It is important to note that some DMK members, reportedly at the suggestion of their leader MK Stalin, circulated Mylswamy’s name. According to certain leaders, the DMK would prefer a Tamil candidate to counter the BJP-AIADMK move to leverage Tamil identity with NDA nominee CP Radhakrishnan. The name of DMK MP Tiruchi Siva was also mentioned in some circles.
