Party headquarters appeared nervous as both the Congress and the BJP feared the adverse impact of the verdict on their prospects in the forthcoming Bihar elections.
Leaders were seen glued to the television observing both the build-up and the eventual pronouncement of the verdict and were seen discussing the consequences during the evening.
It was a busy day for television crew as their teams were stationed at all political parties offices, religious institutions, headquarters of RSS and Vishwa Hindu Parishad, as well as residences of top political leaders to get real-time bytes on the verdict.
