Social Media reacts to BJP’s mamoth surge, AAP’s demise and more

Trends for 2017 Assembly elections are live now. In Uttar Pradesh, BJP looks all set to perform better than the wildest expectations, with it hovering above the 300 mark. In Uttarakhand too, BJP looks like forming the government with a 2/3 rd majority. In Punjab, Congress is bursting the AAP bubble with Kejriwal’s party coming a distant second with 25 seats as compared to the Congress’s 75. Goa and Manipur look too close to be called and might be heading towards a hung parliament.

Reactions started pouring early in the morning. The prime focus was on BJP’s surge and AAP’s demise, the party which according to latest figures is yet to open account in Goa. Here are a few reactions which we managed to compile:
