On Tuesday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal responded to exit polls that predicted a massive victory for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the MCD (Municipal Corporation of Delhi) elections. The national capital’s civic elections were held on Sunday across all 250 wards. For nearly 15 years, the BJP has ruled the civic bodies of the national capital, which were merged into one earlier this year.
According to exit polls, the AAP will be well past the halfway point in the elections. (Warning: Exit polls frequently get it wrong.) “I would like to congratulate the citizens of Delhi. Yesterday, I was watching the results. People have once again expressed their confidence in the AAP “On Tuesday, Kejriwal told reporters. MCD results will be released on Wednesday.
“I only hope that the results will be like this,” he added. After extensively campaigning in Gujarat in recent weeks, the AAP chief also discussed the Gujarat exit polls. “A new player has entered the fray. They claimed it was the BJP’s stronghold. It is a big deal if a party can get 15-20% of the vote in the first round “He emphasized.
However, according to exit polls, the party is unlikely to make the gains expected in Gujarat. It may not even end in second place. Similar predictions have surfaced for Himachal Pradesh. Since winning Punjab earlier this year, the AAP has been attempting to expand its national footprint.
Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh votes will be counted on Thursday.
