In contrast BJP office is agog with excitement. After the prediction of a landslide victory in the exit polls, the BJP leaders are overjoyed and had prepared a grand arrangements here at the party office for people to get the first hand report of the lok Sabha results.
‘’The party organised a Sunderkhand and on Friday a huge lED would be installed at the state party office for viewing of the results. The NaMO tea stall will serve snacks and tea to the people,” BJP spokesperson Vijay Bahadur Pathak said here on Thursday.
He said that party’s state president laxmikant Bajpai would be stationed in lucknow and a control room has been set up to monitor the counting process in the state.
