Many other interesting visuals also surfaced during the voting. Giriraj Singh and Akhilesh Yadav were seen greeting each other warmly, while Union Minister Kiren Rijiju interacted with several opposition leaders. He even spoke with Dimple Yadav outside the voting booth.
Meanwhile, NDA candidate C.P. Radhakrishnan is considered a certain winner against opposition candidate Sudarshan Reddy, as 11 MPs from YSR Congress have declared support for the NDA. With NDA already commanding 427 votes, and parties like BSR and BJD abstaining along with some Punjab MPs, the outcome appears decided.
