Meanwhile, ebullient Congress supporters today erupted into celebrations as initial trends showed the party leading in the seat tally across the country. The Congress headquarters in New Delhi wore a festive look with party workers carrying flowers and buntings, dancing to the music of ‘dhols’ (drums).

Many of the supporters sang “Jai Ho”, the Oscar-winning number by A R Rahman in the film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.

The Congress workers have also setup a ‘hawan’ with the picture of party’s star campaigner Rahul Gandhi next to it. A large flowered cutout of the country has also been installed outside the residence of Congress President Sonia Gandhi at 10 Janpath as party workers burst crackers to mark the trends going in the party’s favour.
