Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife Gursharan Kaur today cast their votes at a polling station under Gauhati Lok Sabha constituency.
Singh and his wife, after arriving at Lokopriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport around 11 am, flew in a chopper to a temporary helipad at Khanapara.
They then drove straight to the polling booth number 156 at Dispur Government High School to exercise their franchise at around 11:40 am amidst tight security.
While Singh, who is elected to the Rajya Sabha from Assam, had the voter serial number of 726, Kaur's name was placed next, at 727.
Singh and his wife then headed back to the helipad for the airport to board their special flight back to Delhi.
The Prime Minister did not cast his vote here in the 2004 Lok Sabha and 2006 state assembly elections.
