Maharashtra, Jharkhand assembly election results:?Here is why BJP is preparing jalebis for victory celebration
Jalebi took a political turn last month during the Haryana assembly elections when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made a comment about the delicious Gohana jalebis during a campaign speech and suggested the shop should open factories worldwide.
Vote counting is underway in Maharashtra and Jharkhand for the recently concluded assembly elections in the two states. The BJP has taken early leads in both states as the vote counting continues.

But unlike in the past, where laddus used to be the sweet of choice for celebrations, this time around it seems to be jalebis. Videos posted by ANI showed workers preparing jalebis at the BJP headquarters in anticipation of a huge win in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.

How jalebi became political
Jalebi took a political turn last month during the Haryana assembly elections when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made a comment about the Gohana jalebis during a campaign speech. Calling them delicious, Rahul said that he suggested to his sister Priyanka that the sweet shop should open factories worldwide. The BJP, however, pounced on the opportunity, reminding the Congress leader that jalebis were not made in factories.
BJP sent jalebis to Rahul Gandhi
Following the thumping Haryana assembly election victory, the BJP had even sent jalebis to Rahul Gandhi's residence in Delhi. After the BJP¡¯s unexpected victory in the Haryana Assembly elections, the party distributed jalebis, using Gandhi¡¯s comments to mock the Congress party¡¯s defeat.
