Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal attended events related to the International Women’s Day while several other top politicians were seen praying at holy places. And others were busy examining the arrangements related to the electronic voting machines (EVMs), where lie locked the key to their future destinies.
As the high voltage campaigning and polling to the five states ends and the results due on Thursday are being awaited, here is how top politicians spent their time.
Charanjit Singh Channi
Many exit polls are predicting a dismal performance for his party but the Punjab chief minister appeared rather unfazed. Channi, who takes pride in his ability to connect with the common man, was seen milking a goat in a village in Bhadaur area in the state’s hinterland.
In chaste Punjabi Channi can be heard telling those around that he has milked goats often.

Bhagwant Mann
The AAP leader is now being considered the favourite to occupy the chief minister’s chair after the results are out. He was busy examining the arrangements made to keep the EVMs secure. Like five years ago, exit polls have predicted a stellar performance by AAP in Punjab. Mann would be hoping the polls are spot on this time.

Yogi Adityanath
The UP chief minister was in his Gorakhpur bastion on Tuesday where he attended an event organised on the occasion of the International Women’s Day. Exit polls are suggesting that Adityanath will manage to pip Akhilesh Yadav for the chief minister’s position.

Arvind Kejriwal
Like Adityanath, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal also attended an event organised by the Delhi Commission for Women on the International Women’s Day. Even though he is Delhi chief minister, the AAP contested the Punjab election on the slogan – ‘Ek mauka Kejriwal nu’ (One chance for Kejriwal).

Harish Rawat
Former Uttarakhand chief minister Harish Rawat could be seen enjoying exotic apple chips gifted to him by a friend. Rawat felt that apple chips should be promoted as a cottage industry.

The boisterous cricketer-turned-politician proved hard to ignore in the Punjab polls even though Charanjit Singh Channi was named the chief ministerial face by the Congress. With polling having taken place, Sidhu was busy focussing on the digital membership drive of his party.
