NEW DELHI: The usually quiet Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Marg in New Delhi was all agog on Thursday morning. The trends of the assembly poll counting portended a landslide win for Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab. Inside the headquarters building, the mood pulsated with energy. Outside, on the spacious lawns, the elation was expressed through constant drum beats and raucous shouts of joy.
The din kept scaling up as the numbers against the party’s name on the giant screen steadily rose, indicating not just a decisive mandate for AAP but one that annihilated the combined opposition.
