Voting begins for Vice President election

If we talk about the number game in the Vice President election, then NDA is ahead in this regard. At the same time, India Alliance is hoping for cross voting. Let us tell you one thing that there is no election symbol for the Vice President election and the parties do not issue whip for this. In such a situation, anyone is free to vote for any candidate. And valid votes play the most important role in the results.

Summary

By the way, till date there have been only 4 such occasions when voting was not done for the Vice President election and the Vice President was elected unopposed. Today is also important because Rahul Gandhi is continuously attacking PM Narendra Modi directly and there is a standoff between both the political fronts regarding Bihar elections and SIR. In such a situation, this election can also be considered a political power show.
