The suspense over Lok Sabha election results is not limited to the country alone. Several Indians living across the world have planned live screening of the poll results.
Several non-resident Indians (NRIs) in Melbourne have geared up for the election result update at a restaurant in Victoria. The screening, accompanied with discussions and ‘masala’ tea, will start at 4.30 pm local time on May 23.
“This is for the first time that there will be live telecast of Indian election results in Melbourne. This place (Victoria) is a hub of NRIs and I am sure the organizers will have to host a lot of regulars. People like us are very excited to be a part of the event,” said Maninder Singh Virk, orginally from Karnal in Haryana.
“We are all going to the venue in a group of 10-15. We are undoubtedly excited about the arrangement,” he told TOI from Melbourne.
On the other hand, the Indian News, Apnu Gujarat and Apna Bharat from New Zealand have organised live screening of the results at the Barmoral Community Hall in Auckland.
The entry will be free of cost, with complementary refreshments of tea, ‘samosa’, ‘bhaji’ and a sweet.
In London, the SOAS India Society is set to screen the results live from 10.30am local time. In the US, a similar screening has been organized starting at local time 9.30pm on May 22 at the Woodbury 10 Theatre in Minneapolis.
The NRIs in Orlando have also planned a similar event, “Vijay Sankalp”, an Indian election result watch party that will have food, beverage and Bollywood entertainment on offer.
