Soon after the national anthem was over, President  was seen talking to Union Minister Anurag Singh Thakur and then along with security walked down from the dais. Kovind had a brief conversation with the policewoman after Thakur offered her a bottle of water. Sitharaman too kept on smiling affably at the police woman.

Generally, the President leaves the venue immediately after the national anthem.

There was a loud applause from the audience when Kovind walked out from the venue.
