Saralnama15 opposition MPs likely voted for NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan in the vice-presidential election. The NDA won with 452 votes against 300 for opposition candidate Dr B Sudershan Reddy. Sources say MPs from AAP, Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, DMK, JMM, RJD, and NCP-SP may have broken party lines. The NDA ran a well-organized campaign, dividing MPs into groups and assigning ministers to ensure correct voting. They used a 'man-to-man marking' system to prevent absences. PM Modi attended a two-day training for NDA MPs. The opposition appeared divided with no clear strategy. 10 invalid votes were cast, possibly due to errors like using tick marks instead of numbers.
