01:10This vice-presidential contest is an ideological battle.

01:29That is why we are contesting unitedly.
01:35The opposition parties have nominated Shri B. Sudarshan Reddy Garu as their joint candidate,
01:44since he reflects fully and values that saved our country's freedom movement so profoundly
01:55and the values on which our country's constitution and democracy have been anchored.
