Indian Presidential Poll 2017

A day before elections for Vice President, lawmakers from the ruling BJP and its allies are attending a workshop on how to vote. The "dummy vote" is being organised at a meeting of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), to ensure minimum invalid votes today.

The ideologies and principles that Indians believe in and due to which the country is united, are under threat, the Opposition's presidential nominee Meira Kumar claimed today adding that she has asked MPs and MLAs to vote according to their conscience.

Opposition parties, after holding discussions in the past few days, appear to have considered a few names, including former Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi, former Speaker Meira Kumar, NCP Chief Sharad Pawar and JD-U leader Sharad Yadav, to pick a common candidate for the upcoming Presidential election.
