2019 LS polls 'once-in-a-century moment': President Kovind
In his customary address to the nation on the eve of Republic Day, President Ram Nath Kovind said electing the 17th Lok Sabha is not just a "once-in-a-generation moment, but a once-in-a-century moment". Urging people to perform "the sacred act" of voting, he added, "In some respects, this is as critical...a period as the late 1940s and early 1950s."
