It's Ram Nath Kovind vs Meira Kumar today as Parliamentarians and state lawmakers vote to decide who will be the next President of India. With 63 per cent of the vote pledged to him, former Bihar Governor Mr Kovind, the nominee of the ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, is set to easily win today's election against former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar, fielded by the opposition, which has pitched the contest as a battle of ideologies. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was among the first to vote in Parliament this morning, has congratulated Mr Kovind in advance and has said that "the presidential poll this time is historic. Probably for the first time no party made any undignified or unwarranted comment on the rival candidate." (Audio in Hindi)
