Rahul Gandhi’s master stroke by declaring the name of former justice SC B. Sudershan Reddy has sent tizzy in NDA circles
Say political analysts

The declaration of the Vice Presidential candidate of India National Developmental Inclusive Alliance has infact created quite a worry in the saffron party led National Democratic Alliance since the former justice B.Sudershan Reddy is not only a veteran most respectable former Andhra Pradesh permanent judge and justice Supreme Court but is also from Andhra Pradesh. His candidature is being considered as masterstroke stroke of Rahul Gandhi sending tizzy in the NDA circles.
This candidature of B Sudershan Reddy may lead to division in the NDA as far as voting in concerned reveal sources.
This intelligent step of Rahul Gandhi has indeed increased the pulpitation of NDA as according to the senior journalist and political analyst K.P. Malik there has been a big political explosion regarding the Vice Presidential election.
To defeat NDA candidate C.P. Radhakrishnan, Rahul Gandhi has played a ‘master stroke’ in Modi style.
Now, Chandrababu Naidu is in a difficult situation, how can he reject the opposition candidate fielded from his own Andhra Pradesh despite being a part of the NDA ?
Second, Jagan Mohan Reddy who is trying to save his existence in politics, but is caught in a dilemma when it comes to voting.
And third, K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), who was the uncrowned king of Telangana, now finds himself in a dilemma of ‘which way to go’.
The opposition has cleverly nominated B. Sudarshan Reddy, who hails from Andhra Pradesh. That is, the game has been set where the NDA allies will be most uncomfortable.
“This gamble is not just about the Vice Presidential election, but it is a real test of the unity of the NDA. It is possible that the first major crack in the NDA may come out in the open in this election.”
So the question is, will Naidu, Jagan and KCR toe the party line, or will they dig their own political graves by going against a candidate who has risen from the grassroots of their own state?
And if this happens, will the strength of the NDA remain only in name? asked the senior journalist and political analyst Malik on X.
It may be recalled that BJP led NDA has initially declared the name of the Maharashtra Governor C.P Radhakrishnan as its Vice presidential candidate with the latter meeting PM Narendra Modi, union Home minister Amit Shah and BJP chief and union health minister J.P.Nadda thanking them with bouquets for his elevation. The Congress party led NDA declared former Supreme Court justice and permanent Andhra Pradesh High court judge hailing from Andhra Pradesh B.Sudershan Reddy as their vice presidential candidate creating quite a worry in the NDA camp.
This master stroke of Congress leader and LOP Rahul Gandhi is being lauded in the opposition camp.
