Delhi's Urban Development Minister, Saurabh Bhardwaj, has confidently remarked that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will retain power in the capital, challenging the exit polls that forecast a comfortable victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Historically, AAP's actual performance has surpassed exit poll predictions.
Bhardwaj recalled previous elections where exit polls inaccurately predicted AAP's defeat, yet the party emerged with a robust number of seats. He attributed these discrepancies to the fear of speaking out among the public, suggesting that BJP stifles common voices.
With several exit polls indicating a BJP win ranging from 39 to 60 seats out of 70, Bhardwaj maintained that the actual vote share for AAP consistently exceeds exit poll estimates. The final outcome will be confirmed on February 8, while AAP leaders remain optimistic about Arvind Kejriwal's continued leadership.
