Delhi Urban Development Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj on Wednesday exuded confidence of AAP retaining power in Delhi and said the party's performance has always been better than predicted by exit polls.
Most exit polls predicted BJP forming government in Delhi with a comfortable majority. "We have fought three elections in Delhi and this is the fourth assembly election we are fighting...2013, 2015 exit polls had shown that we would be defeated. In 2020, we got more seats than shown by exit polls. This election also, it is being shown that we get fewer seats. I feel that exit polls have always shown that AAP would be getting fewer seats," Bhardwaj said. Bhardwaj dubbed the predictions "wrong" and said that people have not spoken "out of fear". "BJP always silences common people's voices, so they don't speak out of fear. AAP's vote share is always more than that shown in exit polls," he said AAP leaders Aman Arora and Sushil Gupta also expressed confidence of Arvind Kejriwal becoming Chief Minister of Delhi for the fourth time." "Arvind Kejriwal has worked for the people of Delhi. We will see the results in favour of Aam Aadmi Party and we will form the government," Gupta said.
