New Delhi, Sept. 9 -- As the voting for the 15th Vice Presidential election begins, Union Panchayati Raj Minister Rajiv Ranjan (Lallan) Singh on Tuesday held joint opposition candidate and retired Supreme Court judge B Sudershan Reddy responsible for "extending the problem of Naxalism" in Chhattisgarh and Telangana by eight years.

"We will surely win the elections. Because of the opposition candidate (B Sudershan Reddy) and his work, it took eight years to end Naxalism in Telangana, and it was a big problem. He doesn't care about problems on the ground. Naxalism was a huge problem in Telangana and especially in Chhattisgarh. His one decision extended the problem for eight more years," Singh told reporters here.
