New Delhi: Jubilant even before the results of the Lok Sabha election are declared on Friday, the BJP office in Delhi was on Thursday decked up and party workers got ready with fire crackers and sweets. In contrast, relative quiet prevailed at the Congress headquarters.

BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will, however, be away from Delhi on counting day, and will only come to the national capital on Saturday.

An army of cooks, called specially from an Old Delhi area famous for its culinary excellence, are preparing 2.5 tonnes of laddoos, an Indian sweet synonymous with celebrations.

“We have called 35 cooks specially from Old Delhi for preparing these laddoos,” Ghanshyam Das Agarwal, national co-convenor of the BJP traders cell, told IANS.

He said at least two car-loads of fire crackers have already arrived while more are on their way, while two bands have also been booked for the celebrations.

A giant LED screen has been put up in the office campus for live updates of the counting process.

The office buzzed with activities, as party workers from across the country started pouring in.

A tent has been erected at senior party leader Arun Jaitley’s official residence next to the BJP’s national headquarters at Ashoka Road that will serve as a makeshift studio for TV news channels.

Jaitley and Modi confidante Amit Shah held a meeting with party spokespersons and leaders who will act as panelists on TV channels on Friday.

The whole of the BJP national office as well as the surroundings are being lit up as the party anticipates victory. (IANS)
