The early trends of the results of the 2019 Lok Sabha Polls indicated a landslide win for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), leaving the Congress far behind.
While all the party leaders were inside their respective headquarters tracking and analysing the results, it was the supporters who were gathered outside the headquarters that reflected the mood of both the parties.
It was fireworks and shor outside BJP headquarters, accompanied by a reverberating ‘Modi Modi’ chant. Outside Congress HQ, an eerie silence, where only a handful of people remained.
