Moditva is every where- BJP Victory pics of Gujarat

Gujarat: Modi masks, Modi T-shirt, Modi slogans. It was Chief Minister Narendra Modi all the way as tens of thousands on Sunday celebrated a resounding win by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Gujarat.
It was festival time at the BJP headquarters and in virtually every town across the state with men and women pouring out of their homes and dancing to drum beats, waving the party’s green-and-saffron flags and shouting unending slogans hailing their undisputed hero: Modi.
Firecrackers were set off at regular intervals, the deafening noise at times drowning the wild sloganeering. Many distributed sweets, and consumed them with relish too.
Many sported ‘Modi masks’, which became hugely popular during the campaigning for the December 11 and 16 polling, waving their hands frantically each time TV cameras focussed on them.
At the party head office, a few Muslims conspicuous with their skullcaps joined the chorus.
“There has been developmental work. Let us hope Modi continues to develop Gujarat,” Mohammed Bilal, one of the Muslims, said.
Slogans that rent the air included ‘Jeet Gaya Gujarat!’ (Gujarat has won), a change from the pre-election slogan of ‘Jeetega Gujarat!’ (Gujarat will win).
A stall quickly came up outside the BJP office to sell the Modi memorabilia, including badges and stickers.
Some supporters sported the Santa Claus cap that has been selling well in the winter season ahead of Christmas.
