Yashwant Sinha said results of the presidential election will determine the country’s course and whether democracy will endure

Credent TV | On Monday, Yashwant Sinha, the presidential candidate for the opposition, urged voters to follow their “inner voice” and vote for him. He said that the outcome of the election will determine whether or not democracy would continue in the nation.

In the election, where the victory of NDA presidential nominee Droupadi Murmu seems a certain conclusion, with numerous non-NDA parties also backing the candidacy of the tribal leader, Yashwant Sinha has repeatedly asked parliamentarians to vote with their call of conscience.

“I have emphasised several times how crucial this election is in determining whether democracy in India will continue or slowly go away. We are going closer to the finish, according to the signals we are receiving, Sinha told reporters.
He urged lawmakers and members of Parliament all throughout the nation to follow their “inner voice” and vote for him in the election.
No party whip exists. This vote was cast in private. To safeguard democracy, I urge all MPs and MLAs to use their freedom of choice and vote for me, he added.

Yashwant Sinha said he was engaged in a conflict with the administration as well as politics.

“Government agencies have become extremely active, they are dividing political parties, they are pressuring individuals to cast their votes a certain way, and there is also a lot of money involved,” he stated.
Sinha visited his home state of Jharkhand on July 16, capping up a campaign that had started on June 28 in Kerala.

He made 13 state capital visits during this time, including to Thiruvananthapuram, Chennai, Raipur, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Gandhinagar, Srinagar, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Guwahati, Bhopal, Patna, and Ranchi. He also participated in 50 interviews and many news conferences.

On Monday, MPs and MLAs cast their ballots alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, chief ministers from all around the nation, and other officials. In all, 4,800 MPs and MLAs cast their votes up to 5 p.m. on Monday to choose India’s 15th president. On July 21, ballots will be counted, and on July 25, the future president will take office.
