IndiaTimes Monday, 25 August 2025 ()
Villagers from Sukma and Bastar, Chhattisgarh, who are victims of Naxal violence, have appealed to Members of Parliament not to support B Sudershan Reddy for Vice-President. They criticize his past order against the Salwa Judum movement, claiming it emboldened insurgents. BJP leaders also question Reddy's alleged leniency towards Maoism, raising concerns about his suitability for the high constitutional office.
