Vice President Election 2025: INDIA Alliance Candidate Sudarshan Reddy Reaches Delhi, Appeals for Constitutional Values

The political atmosphere in Delhi has turned intense as the Vice President election draws closer. Opposition alliance candidate Sudarshan Reddy, representing the INDIA bloc, arrived in the national capital today to rally support ahead of the crucial vote.

Speaking to reporters shortly after his arrival, Reddy emphasized that this election is not just about numbers in Parliament but about safeguarding the spirit of the Constitution. He urged Members of Parliament across party lines to rise above political divisions and vote with their conscience.

A Contest Beyond Politics

According to Reddy, the Vice President’s post is not merely a ceremonial position but a responsibility tied deeply with protecting democratic values. He pointed out that the presiding officer of the Rajya Sabha plays a pivotal role in ensuring free and fair debates, where diverse voices of the country are respected.

“This is about the dignity of Parliament and the principles enshrined in our Constitution. I appeal to every MP to uphold those values, regardless of political affiliation,” he said, making a direct appeal to lawmakers from both ruling and opposition benches.

INDIA Bloc’s Strategy

The INDIA alliance, formed by multiple opposition parties, has been positioning itself as a defender of constitutional morality and institutional balance. Reddy’s candidacy is being seen as a symbolic stand against what the alliance alleges to be growing centralization of power.

Leaders of the bloc have lined up a series of meetings in Delhi to consolidate support from smaller regional parties and independent MPs. Senior opposition figures are expected to join Reddy in reaching out personally to parliamentarians in the coming days.

The Road Ahead

With the Vice President election scheduled soon, the coming days will see heightened lobbying and backchannel talks. While the ruling party holds numerical strength in Parliament, the INDIA alliance hopes to leverage the moral narrative of constitutional integrity to gain traction.

Political observers believe that even if the numbers appear tilted, the election will serve as a barometer of how united the opposition remains in the larger political landscape.

As the capital buzzes with activity, all eyes are now set on whether Reddy’s appeal for a conscience vote finds resonance among lawmakers—or whether party lines will dominate the final outcome.
