Here are some witty one-liners were doing the rounds on social media as the election results began to roll out:

On WhatsApp:

Some wondered if they were watching the election results or an IPL match:

“Score itna jaldi badh raha hain, Maxwell bjp mein hain kya?”

Another had a request for the new PM:

“In your quest and eagerness to replace (sic) the Gujarat model, please do not make India a dry nation...I cannot drive to neighbouring countries for a drink”

Others decided on how the parties will now travel:

“BJP will travel in Airbus A-320 (320 seats)
Congress will travel in one train compartment(72 seats)
  AAP will travel in Auto (3 seats)”

Some focused on reaction of the youth:

“Its the first time in so many years that the Indian youth is more excited about 16th May than 14th Feb”

On Twitter:

$$Jhunjhunwala/Magal ‏@jhunjhunwala 48m

Tide and Rin have competition from the Congress. Itni zabardast dhulai hui hain.

Vir Das ‏@thevirdas 52m

I love how language changes over the years. 'Unemployed' became 'Jobless' which today became 'Taking Stock and Introspecting'

Khamba ‏@gkhamba 5h

3D models of Parliament on counting day are the only time I've ever seen it entirely full
