Celebrations broke out in the BJP headquarters here today after early trends in favour of the saffron party came in with the party leading in 215 seats out of trends available for 403 seats.
A festive spirit prevailed at the BJP office at Ashoka Road where party workers and leaders gathered in large numbers bursting crackers, distributing sweets and NaMo tea.
Many workers were seen smearing each other with colour and dancing to the beats of drums.
Hearty Congratulations dear @narendramodi Ji on your historic win. Best wishes

Senior BJP leaders Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Prakash Javadekar and Balbir Punj were present in the celebrations.
"This is the victory of the people and the party. This is victory for Narendra Modi," said Naqvi, brushing aside any talks of dissensions within the party.
Party Spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said, "More than victory, it is a responsibility for us. It is important that we remember that this victory is because of the people's confidence in us."
