Ludhiana, June 3

The results of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 will be declared tomorrow. Heart beats are running fast, there are hopes, excitement among contestants, party leaders, workers and supporters and arrangements are being made to celebrate the occasion on Tuesday.

President of the Ludhiana BJP Rajnish Dhiman said it takes five minutes to arrange for laddoos or sweets.

“We are all prepared to celebrate the victory tomorrow. Party supporters and workers have already arranged dholis, they just want the results to be declared and then it would be celebrations all over,” he said.

At the same time, near and dear ones of SAD candidate Ranjit Singh Dhillon said the entire family visited Baba Deep Singh Ji Gurdwara where an akhand path was held to thank the Almighty and the bhog ceremony would be held on June 5.

Former general secretary of the state BJP Parveen Bansal, however, said: “Laddoo toh kal baantne hi hain, bas dekhna hai ki Ludhiana ki mithas add hoti hai ke nahi” (We are going to celebrate the BJP’s victory by distributing sweets, just want to see if the Ludhiana seat adds to the sweetness).

At the same time, the Congress and AAP camps are keeping it a low-key affair. The vice-chairman of the Punjab Medium Industries and spokesperson for AAP, Paramveer Singh, said everything would be decided once the results are out. “The mandate is in the hands of people and we are waiting for the results to be declared first. We are keeping everything simple,” he added.
