With the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) poised for a landslide victory in the Bihar Assembly elections, Delhi Police has announced traffic diversions in key areas of the capital in anticipation of massive celebrations at the BJP headquarters.
As per early leads, the NDA is ahead in 206 out of 243 assembly constituencies, with the BJP projected to outperform its ally JD(U) for the second straight time. Buoyed by the numbers, party workers and leaders are expected to gather in large numbers at the Bharatiya Janata Party Headquarter on Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg near ITO this evening. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to address the cadre to mark the resounding victory.
Delhi Police has made elaborate security arrangements around the party office. No parking will be allowed on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, DDU Marg, IP Marg, or near Ranjit Singh Flyover. Commuters are advised to avoid these routes and expect heightened checks and traffic diversions in the area.
