NEW DELHI: Upbeat after most exit polls projected a majority for BJP-led NDA, there was already an air of celebrations on Thursday at the party's 11, Ashoka Road headquarters, a day before the counting of votes. Party leaders and workers were busy preparing for victory celebrations, confident of coming to power after a gap of 10 years.
The party's prime ministerial candidate and Gujarat CM Narendra Modi will watch the results unfold in Ahmedabad. But his close aide Amit Shah, who oversaw the strategy in the key battleground state of Uttar Pradesh, will follow the results at the party headquarters.
Party president Rajnath Singh is expected to arrive around 2 pm and address the media. He is expected to leave for his constituency soon after.
The Delhi BJP unit has been given the charge of arranging the celebratory "laddoos" among other things, once the trends become clear. Over a thousand kilos of laddoo have been ordered for distribution along with flowers and crackers.
With most party seniors contesting the elections from different parts of the country away in their constituencies, the parties parliamentary board is likely to meet on Saturday when Modi would also arrive after visiting Vadodara and Varanasi — the two constituencies he contested from.
The parliamentary board meeting on Saturday is expected to decide on the dates for the parliamentary meeting to be held to formally and elect the leader and also for the meeting of the NDA partners that will follow. It will discuss the tentative date for the swearing-in of the Modi-led government, if the NDA gets majority.
It is also under consideration whether Modi would prefer a swearing-in ceremony inside Rashtrapati Bhavan or in an open space. The only other Prime Minister from BJP, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, had taken his oath of office, at a function held in the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan.
For the results day, the BJP office here has made arrangements for 30 air conditioned tents for the electronic channels for the party spokespersons to appear.
Celebratory fire-crackers and drummers will not be allowed inside the premises for security reasons.
The Delhi Police has already deployed its armed police battalion outside the office after sanitising the premises.
The party is working out the welcome function for Modi when he arrives in the national Capital.
