Who is Justice Sudarshan Reddy?
Ever heard of Justice Sudarshan Reddy? If you follow Indian politics, you might recognize his name. Last year, he was the India Alliance’s pick for the vice presidential election, going up against NDA’s candidate CP Radhakrishnan. People loved his sharp arguments in debates, calling him super articulate. But in the end, he didn’t win—the numbers weren’t on his side. Now, his name’s popping up again, this time for a possible Rajya Sabha seat!
A Legal Powerhouse
Justice Reddy isn’t just any judge—he’s known as a constitutional expert. His career includes serving as a High Court judge in Andhra Pradesh and even heading up the Guwahati High Court as Chief Justice. Congress leaders think having someone with his brainpower in the Rajya Sabha would be a major win for their alliance. Rumor has it the party’s top bosses are seriously considering him for the role.
The Rajya Sabha Opportunity
Two seats in Telangana’s Rajya Sabha quota are opening up on April 9. Word is, one could go to Sudarshan Reddy. The other might be handed to Abhishek Singhvi—a big-name lawyer and current Rajya Sabha member from Telangana. Congress insiders say the high command will soon chat with Telangana CM Revanth Reddy to lock this in.
What He’d Bring to the Table
If Justice Reddy scores a Rajya Sabha seat, he wouldn’t just be another MP. He’d be a key voice for the Congress and the India Alliance, especially on tricky legal and constitutional stuff. Imagine him dropping knowledge bombs during debates—something he’s already famous for!
The Competition is Fierce
Wanting those two seats? So do about half a dozen other hopefuls. Former MP V Hanumantha Rao, ex-BRS leader K Kesha Rao (who recently joined Congress), and senior Congress figure Jeevan Reddy are all ⋅⋅⋅ in line. But here’s the deal: Congress leaders in Delhi make the final call. And right now, Justice Reddy seems to be their top choice.
Will It Happen?
Even with all the buzz, nothing’s official yet. The Congress high command has to greenlight it first. But political watchers say Reddy’s chances look strong. Stay tuned to see if this rumor becomes reality!
