Opposition presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha on Monday said the presidential poll would decide the direction of the country as to whether democracy will remain or not, as he appealed to electors to listen to their “inner voice” and support him.
Sinha has repeatedly urged lawmakers to vote with the call of conscience in the election, where the win of NDA presidential candidate Droupadi Murmu is a forgone conclusion with several non-NDA parties also supporting the candidature of the tribal leader.
He appealed to Parliamentarians and legislators across the country to listen to their “inner voice” and support him in the election.
Sinha said he is not just fighting a political battle, but a fight against government agencies too.
