New Delhi: It was festive time for scores of BSP workers outside the residence of their leader Mayawati, as results poured in from different parts of the state indicating that the party could form a government on its own.
Jubilant party workers burst crackers and distributed sweets and hugged each other as every favourable results brought a roar of cheers.
Carrying BSP flags, party workers had started gathering near their leader's residence at Mall Avenue since early Friday morning as if they knew what was in the offing.
"We knew we are going to win. This time all sections of the people have voted for us," PTI quoted BSP worker Narendra Kumar as saying.
BSP supremo Mayawati, who was confined to her residence along with senior party leaders, remained glued to the TV set to get the latest results.
Though no senior BSP leader was available for reaction on the party's victory, Mayawati is likely to hold a press conference once all the results were declared.
Anticipating a huge crowd of BSP supporters who may throng the state capital to celebrate the party's victory, authorities are already making security arrangement.
Barricades have been erected on all the roads leading to her official residence and the party office and traffic restrictions have been put in place.
