The party seems confident of a win after exit poll results predicted a landslide win for the BJP and its alliance NDA.

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led party will win almost as many seats as it did in 2014 and form a government comfortably, exit polls predicted on Sunday at the end of the national election. The poll of polls, an aggregate of exit polls, gives the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) 302 of 543 seats and the Congress and its allies 122.

Celebrations had begun a couple days after the Exit Poll results in Mumbai when a BJP candidate ordered about 2,000 kg of laddoos. Men wearing Narendra Modi masks were photographed preparing the laddoos.

These sweets will be distributed on May 23, when the results of the national elections will be declared.

A massive 125-kg special cake will be cut by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis tomorrow afternoon at the party headquarters.

Party chief Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are also expected to visit the headquarters.

The Lok Sabha elections concluded on May 19 after a marathon seven-phased elections. Around 90 crore people were eligible to vote in the elections this year and recorded a turnout of 67.11 per cent. Results will be declared tomorrow.
