BJP MP Bhupendra Yadav explained to the members of Parliament how to cast their ballot in favor of the NDA's vice-presidential nominee Venkaiah Naidu. Today's NDA meet was also attended by AIADMK, TRS and YSRCP members of Parliament, who aren't part of the NDA but have pledged support to Venkaiah Naidu. On Saturday, 790 MPs, from both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha will participate in the vice-presidential elections. Two candidates, NDA nominee Venkaiah Naidu and opposition candidate Gopal Krishna Gandhi are in the fray. This would make a total of 484 MPs voting in favor Venkaiah Naidu, apart from several nominated members as well.
