Chief Minister Revanth Reddy today expressed his appreciation to AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi for endorsing Justice B Sudershan Reddy as the INDIA bloc's Vice-Presidential candidate.
"Thank you, Asaduddin Owaisi Bhai, for stepping up to support Justice Sudershan Reddy as the Vice President for the common national interest," Reddy posted on X.
Earlier, Owaisi had announced his backing for Sudershan Reddy saying that it was upon a request from the Chief Minister.
The MP said that the Chief Minister had reached out to him and urged the AIMIM to endorse Justice Reddy for the Vice-Presidential post.
"AIMIM will support Justice Reddy, who is a fellow resident of Hyderabad and a highly regarded jurist. I also spoke with Justice Reddy to convey our best wishes," Owaisi said.
Owaisi is the sole MP representing the AIMIM, which is not affiliated with the INDIA bloc.
The Chief Minister also called upon all political parties in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to unite in support of Sudershan Reddy for the Vice-Presidential election scheduled for September 9.
