New Delhi/IBNS: After the conclusion of Delhi assembly elections on Saturday, several exit polls are predicting a clean sweep by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) paving way for Arvind Kejriwal to become the Chief Minister for the third term.

As per the poll of polls, the AAP may get 56 of 70 seats, BJP 14 while Congress will once again fail to open its account.

According to the exit polls conducted by ABP News-CVoter, the AAP is forecasted to win 49 to 63 seats, followed by BJP with 5 to 19 seats and 0 to 4 seats for Congress. The AAP is expected to get a vote share of 50.4%, while BJP forecasted to win 36 per cent vote share, followed by Congress with 9 per cent vote share, and others with 4.7% vote share.

As per India Today-My Axis survey, the AAP is likely to get 59-68 seats, BJP 2-11 seats and Congress 0.

The exit polls of Times Now shows the AAP might get 47 seats, BJP 23 seats and Congress 0.

The exit polls of Republic-Jan Ki Baat predicted the AAP is likely to get 48-61 seats, BJP 9-21 seats, Congress 0.

Rejecting the exit polls, Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari said, "On Feb 11, all these exit polls will fail."

BJP's National Information and Technology in-charge Amit Malviya tweeted, "Final result will come on 11 Feb. So indulge yourself with the exit polls but don’t lose sleep over it..."

According to media reports, Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah has called a meeting of all party MPs of Delhi. 

54.65% of the total people of Delhi cast their votes as the Delhi assembly elections 2020 were held on Saturday.

The voter turnout, which was pretty low for the entire day, picked up towards the evening making it to close to 55 per cent.

70 assembly seats were up for grab as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is looking to unseat Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with the grand old party Congress merely fighting to stay relevant in the national capital.

While the AAP concentrated on the issues of water, electricity, health, the BJP followed the nationalistic agendas mostly in the poll campaigns.

Elaborate security arrangements were made to maintain law and order situation in the national capital.

Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel held flag marches in the sensitive areas in northeast and east Delhi, officials were reported as saying.

Patrolling in motorcycles was also conducted by senior officials, Joint Commissioner of Police (Eastern Range) Alok Kumar said.

Senior cops covered sensitive areas in West Delhi afoot.
