BJP's G Kishan Reddy slams Congress, saying, "They want to do politics on every issue..." - World News Network

New Delhi [India], September 9 (ANI): Union Minister G Kishan Reddy on Tuesday slammed the Congress party, saying that it neither believed in democracy nor the Parliament, the Supreme Court, the Election Commission, or the Army. He further stated that they (Congress) want to do politics on every issue.
Reddy said that NDA’s candidate CP Radhakrishnan would win the VP election with a thumping majority.
Speaking to the media on the Vice Presidential election, Union Minister Reddy said, “…NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan will win the VP election with a thumping majority. He will serve the nation with full commitment…Congress party believes in neither democracy nor Parliament or Supreme Court, Election Commission, Army…They do not trust even the public. So, they want to do politics on every issue…”.
Earlier today, as voting for the Vice Presidential election began in Parliament, Union Minister Reddy defended NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan’s Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) background.
“He (CP Radhakrishnan) is an RSS man. What is there to hide? RSS is an Indian organisation. RSS never speaks against the country, against the Election Commission, against the Parliament, against the Supreme Court, against the Army – something which Rahul Gandhi and Congress do,” Reddy told ANI.
BJP MP Anurag Thakur exuded confidence in the victory of NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan in the Vice Presidential elections, saying that he will win with a “full majority.”
Speaking to ANI on Tuesday, Thakur stated that the candidate nominated by the BJP-led NDA is “very graceful” and his life has been full of achievements.
“Wait for the results. The candidate nominated by the BJP-NDA is very graceful; his life has been full of achievements. I am confident that he will win with a full majority. The country will get a new Vice President, and the Rajya Sabha will get a new chairman,” Thakur said.
Meanwhile, several Union Ministers, including Amit Shah, Nitin Gadkari, JP Nadda, Kiren Rijiju and others cast their vote for the Vice-Presidential elections at the Parliament House.
The voting for the 15th Vice Presidential election began on Tuesday morning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi exercising his franchise first, along with other prominent ministers and MPs.
NDA’s CP Radhakrishnan is pitted against joint opposition candidate B Sudershan Reddy. Both the leaders are contesting against each other in a high-stakes election, as it came 50 days after Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from his post as the Vice President on July 21, citing health reasons.
Following the voting, the counting of votes will take place this evening. (ANI)
