had missed during the hectic campaigning while Union minister Kapil Sibal, Congress candidate from the same constituency woke up late and went to his office.

“The last 50 days have been very busy. But today I got up little late then usual, played with my dogs. I like watching movies and it was something I had been missing all these days. Today I watched ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’,” Ashutosh said.

The journalist-turned-politician said that he suffered severe dehydration during campaigning due to which he has turned weak. “I visited my physician who has asked me to take five days rest after which I will travel to UP for campaigning,” he said.

Sibal spent his day holding meetings, clearing files and doing other official work which had been lying pending, said an official of his personal staff.

Unlike other leaders, Delhi BJP chief Harsh Vardhan held a number of meetings with party workers where he thanked them for their hard work during the high voltage campaign. “Although I don’t take any sort of tension and I remained relaxed throughout, but the schedule of last 25 days was very hectic,” he said.
