The celebrations of BJP's win in the Delhi Assembly polls echoed in Punjab, Haryana, and Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday.
The leaders and workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) erupted with celebrations across the two states, and the UT with the saffron party winning the Delhi assembly polls, and returning to power in the national capital after over 26 years.
Party leaders and workers danced to beats of 'dhol' and burst firecrackers at the BJP headquarters in Sector-37 here.
In Haryana's Karnal and Kurukshetra, BJP leaders and workers also held celebrations and distributed sweets.
Meanwhile, BJP workers led by senior party leaders thronged the party headquarters in J&K to celebrate the saffron party's performance in the polls. Amid bursting of fire crackers and distribution of sweets, the party workers were also seen dancing on the tunes of the drums to celebrate the victory.
“The people of Delhi rejected corruption by voting for BJP. We salute the party leadership and workers for their hard work," J&K BJP president Sat Paul Sharma said.
He said the defeat of AAP national convener and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal from his seat is a clear message from the people that they do not want “corrupt leaders”.
“This victory is people's win… the national capital will see massive development with a double engine government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Sharma said.
Senior BJP leader and MLA Vikram Randhawa said the voters of Delhi exercised their democratic right wisely to say goodbye to “AAP-Da”.
“This is the victory of nationalism. Winning the national capital is a big thing for the party,” he said.
BJP MLA Shagun Parihar said the party’s triumph in Delhi marks an end of AAP's “deception and dishonesty”.
“BJP will fulfil all its promises and will live to the expectations of the people who have given their blessings to the party candidates,” she said.
BJP MLA Yudhvir Sethi said the blooming of party's symbol, lotus, in Delhi is the end to AAP which has "done nothing for the people except abusing the prime minister, BJP and Delhi Lt Governor during their rule".
