Rasgulla, Jhalmuri at Delhi Secretariat as CM Rekha Gupta, Cabinet celebrate BJP-NDA poll performance
New Delhi [India], May 4 (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and her cabinet ministers celebrated the BJP-NDA's performance in Assembly elections across four states and one Union Territory by sharing rasgulla and 'jhalmuri' at the Delhi Secretariat on Monday.
A video shared by the Delhi Chief Minister's Office showed CM Gupta and ministers enjoying the sweets and snacks at the Secretariat premises.
Meanwhile, Union Minister and former BJP West Bengal President Sukanta Majumdar also joined the celebrations with the party's workers as the party gained a comfortable majority in the assembly elections.
Speaking with ANI, Sukanta Majumdar said, "The trends show the formation of a BJP Government in the state. 'Ram Rajya' has arrived in West Bengal."
The BJP workers distributed 'jhalmuri' and celebrated at the party office in Kolkata.
A worker said, "PM always goes among the common man. He had 'jhalmuri,' and it is Didi who felt 'jhal' (spicy). She had even humiliated the 'jhalmuri wala' and said that an SPG personnel was made to sit there. Common people of the state have given her a befitting reply."
West Bengal BJP President Samik Bhattacharya said that a "people's government" will soon be formed, signalling the end of Trinamool Congress's (TMC) political dominance in the state.
As the final tallies continue to be processed, the BJP is set to comfortably cross the halfway mark of 147 seats and emerge as the single largest party in West Bengal if current counting trends persist. This will increase the states governed by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to 21.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit the Bharatiya Janata Party headquarters in New Delhi later today as early trends show strong gains for the party in West Bengal and Assam.
