The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday objected to the Opposition’s vice-presidential candidate, Supreme Court judge Justice (retired) B. Sudershan Reddy’s meeting with Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo Lalu Prasad, calling it a “hypocrisy in the extreme” given that he spoke about “saving the country’s soul”.
At a press conference, BJP MP and spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said: “We respect all the judges a lot, whether they are sitting or retired. However, when a judge comes into the electoral arena and talks about some big things, then questions will be raised.”
