With only a few days left for the Vice-President (VP) elections, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday met the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc’s candidate, V Sudershan Reddy, at the party headquarters in Lucknow, reported news agency PTI. Following his meeting with Reddy, the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said that the election is "a fight for justice and constitutional values, not merely for power".

While praising the INDIA bloc`s VP candidate, Yadav said that the former Supreme Court judge`s long career in upholding the Constitution, law and people`s rights makes him the "best possible choice" for the high constitutional post. 

Addressing the media, Yadav said, "In the current political scenario, what better option can there be than a judge to lead this battle for justice? We are confident that those who value justice will listen to their inner voice and vote in his favour."
