Entourages and carnivals of the candidates and the winners resulted in jam-packed roads near the designated counting centers. Motorcycle riders sans helmet, waving flags of their respective parties in areas such as Freedom Park, Race Course Road, Chamrajpet and Basavanagudi. Supporters of winning parties celebrated screaming with excitement and bursting crackers without considering that their ruckus might be disturbing students giving exams in nearby institutions.
In short, the byproducts of the celebration were hapless commuters on choked roads, irked students and streets littered with remains of crackers and other celebratory material.
