AAP survey shows Kejriwal Delhi CM
The party, which conducted a survey said AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, the most popular choice for the electorate, would be the next chief minister.
AAP leader Yogendra Yadav said an internal survey of the party suggests it is likely to win 51 of Delhi's 70 seats. That assessment gives the BJP 15 seats and the Congress and others four.
However, addressing his last election rally, Prime Minister Narenda Modi rubbished such surveys "In the last election, they declared they would win 50 seats even when results were not out...when I was contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Varanasi, surveys predicted I would lose badly, but I won," he said.
In the last Delhi Assembly elections no party managed to get 36 seats-the magic figure for absolute majority leading to a hung house. The BJP had the maximum, 31 seats followed by the AAP,28.
The AAP survey shows that 86 per cent voters have made up their minds which party they will vote for.
"We asked people whom they want as CM. 53 per cent said Kejriwal, 34 per cent said Kiran Bedi of the BJP and only 7 per cent wanted the Congress' Ajay Maken," Yadav, who himself is a psephologist, said.
