President Ram Nath Kovind, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Congress chief Rahul Gandhi were among the prominent people who voted in Delhi on Sunday.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, former CM and Congress's North-East Delhi candidate Sheila Dikshit and Airtel Managing Director Sunil Bharti Mittal also cast their vote.

While Kovind cast his vote at Sarvodaya Vidalaya within the Rashpati Bhawan complex at 9 am, Rahul Gandhi, Mittal and Swaraj exercised their franchise at a polling booth on Aurangzeb Road.

After casting his vote, the vice-president, who came to vote at Nirman Bhawan following completion of his four-day visit to Vietnam, appealed to people to come out and exercise their voting right.

"We are the largest democracy in the world. Vote is not only a right but also a pious responsibility," he told reporters here.

Mittal said, "We need to save the future of our country and we want a stable government."
