Saffron flag flies high over Bengaluru

New Indian Express  

BENGALURU: ‘Jai Shri Ram!’, 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai! ', ‘Modi ki Jai!’ and other slogans rent the air outside the counting centres of Bangalore South, Bangalore Central and Bangalore North Lok Sabha constituencies, as BJP leaders took home the Bengaluru trophy. Each time the workers got to know that Bangalore South candidate Tejasvi Surya had taken a lead over Congress candidate Sowmya Reddy, the slogans became louder. Bangalore Central counting centre witnessed an interesting fight between BJP’s PC Mohan and Congress’ Mansoor Ali Khan. However, post 2pm, things changed with Mohan overtaking Mansoor, prompting BJP workers to hit the streets to celebrate his victory with crackers, and slogans hailing Modi and Lord Ram.
