Former SC judge B Sudershan Reddy will contest against NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan. He served as Chief Justice of Gauhati HC, Assam, before reaching the SC.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge made the announcement Tuesday following the INDIA bloc meeting. Reddy will file his nomination for the vice-presidential polls on 21 August.
Radhakrishnan, was elected to the Lok Sabha from Coimbatore twice & previously served as the Tamil Nadu BJP State President. He has also served as the Governor of Jharkhand & Telangana.
The ruling alliance's MPs are set to hold an all-party meeting days before the filing of the nomination for vice president of India’s election begins on 7 August.
The Vice President of India is elected by an Electoral College comprising the elected members & nominated members of Rajya Sabha & the elected members of the Lok Sabha.

Once acquired by IAF, the medium transport aircraft (MTA) will replace both AN-32s and IL-76s, it is learnt. The idea behind the revamp is to meet modern operational needs.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
