    Leading members of India Inc, including R-ADAG Chairman Anil Ambani, RPG Group Chairman, Harsh Goenka and HDFC Chairman, Deepak Parekh, among others, cast their votes on Thursday in the Lok Sabha election.

    All of them cast their votes in the prestigious south Mumbai constituency where the Congress' Milind Deora is pitted against Shiv Sena's Mohan Rawale.

    India Inc has shown a deep interest in the elections, which comes just five months after the 26/11 terror strikes in the city that claimed over 160 lives.

    "It is important that one of the mainstream parties form the Government at the Centre because we need stability," Godrej said. "Our economy is recovering," he added.

    Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) Chairman, C B Bhave, and ICICI Bank's CEO designate, Chanda Kochhar, also cast their ballots, along with JSW Steel's Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, Sajjan Jindal.
