At 7 am, the office of the Aam Aadmi Party at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg in Delhi teemed with journalists as they geared up for their first live telecast of the day. Inside, a few workers hurriedly stapled posters onto wooden standees while blue and yellow balloons with AAP written on them festooned the complex.
“Acche honge 5 saal, MCD me bhi Kejriwal.” The words on the posters indicated that the AAP had already begun preparing for celebrations before the counting of votes to decide the winner of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi election. Rohit, one of the workers who had been summoned late at night by the party’s office-bearers, said they had managed to prepare 20 standees by morning.
