He taunted Jagdeep Dhankhar, who resigned from the post of Vice-President, and said that he was the Vice-President, he disappeared, so this election is being held. The Vice-President working in the Constitution is needed.

Support Reddy- Uddhav Thackeray

Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah on Friday (August 22, 2025), Vice Presidential candidate of Congress -led coalition, Justice B.K. Accused Sudarshan Reddy of ‘support’ Naxalism and said that if he had not pronounced the decision on Salwa Judum, Maoism in the country would have ended before 2020.

Inaugurating the Manorama News Conclave organized by the Malayala Manorama Group, Shah said that the party’s possibility of victory in Kerala has decreased due to the Congress being elected a candidate for the post of Vice President.

‘Justice Reddy inspired by ideology deciding on Salwa Judum’

Shah, citing the 2011 Supreme Court verdict on Salwa Judum during the question -session under the Conclave, said, ‘Sudarshan Reddy is the same person who helped Naxalism. He ruled on Salwa Judum. If the decision on Salwa Judum had not been pronounced, the Naxalite terrorism would have ended by 2020. He is the same person who was inspired by the ideology that gave a decision on Salwa Judum.

In December 2011, Justice Reddy of the Supreme Court ruled that using tribal youth as special police officers in the fight against Maoist rebels, whether they are called ‘Koya Commandos’, called Salwa Judum or called by any other name, is illegal and unconstitutional. He had also ordered that weapons should be taken immediately from them.

Congress’s decision under pressure from leftist parties

The people of Kerala will definitely see that the Congress party is fielding a candidate who supported Naxalism and used a holy platform like Supreme Court.

Tightening on former Delhi CM Kejriwal

The Home Minister said that I have asked the people of the country in Parliament, do they want the Prime Minister to run the government from jail? What is this debate? This is a question of morality. Now they are asking why it was not included in the constitution first. When the draft of the Constitution was prepared, it was not estimated that those who went to jail would continue in elected positions.

The Home Minister referred to the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal on corruption charges and refuses to resign after going to jail on allegations of corruption while being the Chief Minister of Delhi. Shah said, ‘There was an incident where a Chief Minister was running the government from jail, should the constitution be amended or not? At that time there was a BJP government, but we did not face such a situation.

Target on Rahul Gandhi and Congress

He also indicated that if Kejriwal had resigned after his arrest, this new bill would not have been introduced. He also targeted Rahul Gandhi and claimed that the Congress leader had tore an ordinance in 2013 by the Manmohan Singh -led UPA government, which was to provide relief to MPs and MLAs who were disqualified or convicted for any crime.

Shah said, ‘At that time, this ordinance was brought from Manmohan Singh to help Lalu Prasad. Rahul Gandhi had tore a copy of the ordinance approved by the cabinet in the name of morality. The same Rahul Gandhi is now seen hugging Lalu ji in Gandhi Maidan.

Names of 22 lakh people in voter list even after death
