While jubilant BJP workers celebrated the
party's landslide victory in the Lok Sabha polls at the Delhi BJP
office, the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee office (DPCC) and Aam Aadmi
Party headquarters wore a deserted look today. With a handful of
people, which included Congress workers and two three peons sitting, a
deathly silence prevailed at the DPCC office located at Deen Dayal
Upadhyaya Marg. When media persons reached the DPCC office, the hectic
activities which was seen there till yesterday was missing. Infact, a
worker there asked the media "Yahan kya rakha hai aaj? (What is left
here today). Chief spokesperson and ex-MLA Mukesh Sharma who briefed
the media on a regular basis till yesterday was also not present.
Simultaneously, a pall of gloom had also descended on the AAP
headquarter in Connaught Place. The building, which had witnessed a
flurry of activities till recently, had few AAP workers today. By
evening, however AAP leaders Yogendra Yadav, Ashutosh, Prashant Bhushan
and Manish Sisodia addressed a press conference at the party office,
giving their reasons for the debacle. AAP did not win a single seat in
Delhi this time whereas in the Assembly polls in December, AAP had won
28 seats and it was given outside support by eight Congress MLAs to form
the government. Meanwhile, BJP state unit headquarters at 14, Pandit
Pant Marg were thronged by workers who raised slogans in favour of Modi
and its state chief Harsh Vardhan. Amid bursting of firecrackers and
drum beats, party cadres danced. The victory celebrations went on till
late evening.
