AAP to form govt for third time in Delhi: Exit Polls
New Delhi/IBNS: Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is set for a hattrick with the party likely to form government in Delhi again by bagging around 56 of 70 assembly seats, NDTV's Exit Polls claimed.
After the voting for the Delhi assembly election concluded on Saturday, most of the exit polls declared a clean sweep for the AAP.
The exit polls also predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will win 14 seats and the Congress will bag none.
According to India Today-Axis My India's poll, AAP will win 59 to 68 seats while the BJP will get between two and 11 seats.
Times Now exit polls predicted 47 seats for AAP and 23 for the BJP.
As per ABP News-C Voter, 49-63 seats will go to AAP and 5-19 for BJP.
Republic TV-Jan Ki Baat has predicted that AAP will bag 48 to 61 seats and the BJP will get something between nine and 21 seats.
Even though exit polls can be proven wrong but right now it seems like the AAP is going to form the government for the straight third term.
However, the BJP has rejected the exit poll results and said people should wait for the final result which is due on Tuesday.
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..."
