The war of words continued between the ruling parties and the opposition bloc on the eve of the Lok Sabha election vote counting.

BJP`s `X` handle`s pinned post had been saying for the past four days, “Agle Manglawar, fir ek baar Modi sarkar (The Modi government once again next Tuesday)”. In anticipation of a big victory, Mumbai BJP had begun preparing 10,000 laddus from Monday morning itself. Events have been planned in the national capital and across the states.
