NDTV
Yashwant Sinha is pitted against NDA's Presidential pick Droupadi Murmu in the Presidential election.
As voting started for the presidential election this morning, Yashwant Sinha, the opposition's presidential candidate, urged all political parties to vote for him in the race to become the next President of the country.
"This election is very important. I hope all MPs and MLAs will cast their votes in my favour to save democracy," Yashwant Sinha said.
He appealed to the Parliamentarians to vote according to their conscience. "The Constitution provides that the vote will be secret but there will be no party whip which means that you have to determine for who you want to vote for," he said.
"I am not just fighting a political battle, but a fight against government agencies too. They have become too powerful and there is also a game of money involved," he said.
