Srinagar, Aug. 23 -- Opposition vice presidential candidate B Sudershan Reddy on Saturday said there was a "deficit in democracy" in the country and the Constitution was "under challenge" as he pledged to defend and protect it.

In a wide-ranging exclusive interview to PTI, Reddy dwelt on a range of issues - from how his candidature came about, the debate on the words 'socialist' and 'secular' in the Preamble to the Constitution, to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's accusation that he supported Naxalism.
