Chennai:
The Lotus was in full bloom at BJP headquarters in Chennai as party cadres celebrated the massive electoral victory of BJP.
The atmosphere turned festive around 9 am itself as the trends indicated of a massive BJP wave in the country.
A band started playing as cadres dressed in saffron burst crackers. The sweltering heat failed to dampen their spirits as they danced and shouted with joy.
A television was kept on and announcements started trickling in about the party’s position in the state as well as nation.
Around 10 am when the writing was on wall about the decimation of Congress, sweets were distributed to all those who had gathered to celebrate the victory of BJP.
Buttermilk and tea was also served to the visitors. Interestingly, there was also a huge presence of police and the road was sealed. People were asked to park their vehicles outside the street.
There was a flurry of party leaders, including BJP state vice president M Chankravarthy, State BJP General Secretary S Mohan Rajulu and BJP national secretary Tamilisai Soundarajan who visited the party office to be part of the celebrations.
Although the BJP has failed to make any major inroads in the state but cadres are not disheartened by the results. “We have made an impact at the Lok Sabha elections in the state and created our own identity. We contested against two Dravidian parties who were ruling the roost in state politics withour own identity and a winning alliance,” a BJP cadre from North Chennai stated.
