India’s political leaders gathered at the Parliament to cast their votes in the Vice-Presidential election 2025. From Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to Opposition leaders and first-time lawmakers like Kangana Ranaut, the event saw key faces across party lines participating in the democratic process. The election has turned into a straight fight between NDA’s candidate C P Radhakrishnan and the opposition’s joint nominee B Sudershan Reddy, with the BJP-led alliance holding a clear advantage. The bypoll was necessitated after the unexpected resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar. Here are the highlights in pictures. (Image: PTI)
