Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav confident of BJP victory in Delhi Elections

Exit Polls Predict End of Kejriwal's Tenure as BJP Eyes Power in the Capital

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Thursday expressed confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to form the government in Delhi, citing exit polls that predict a strong mandate in favor of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for development.

Leading BJP’s campaign in at least five assembly constituencies ahead of Wednesday’s elections, CM Yadav asserted that the people of Delhi have voted for change. “Exit polls suggest that the people have supported the BJP and PM Modi’s development-oriented governance,” he stated.

Taking a sharp dig at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress, Yadav accused both parties of corruption and misgovernance. “The people rejected Congress years ago, and now they are fed up with AAP’s corruption. This time, they have chosen the BJP to lead Delhi,” he remarked.

Delhi Elections: Key Highlights

The national capital voted in a single-phase election for 70 assembly seats on Wednesday, recording a voter turnout of 60.42%, as per the Election Commission.

The fate of 699 candidates across three major political parties—BJP, AAP, and Congress—is now sealed in the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), with results set to be declared on February 8.
Exit polls indicate a strong possibility of the BJP forming the next government in Delhi, potentially ending Arvind Kejriwal’s tenure as Chief Minister.
Past Election Trends and Current Projections

In the 2015 Delhi Assembly elections, AAP secured a landslide victory with 67 out of 70 seats, leaving BJP with only three and Congress with none. AAP retained its dominance in 2020, winning 62 seats while BJP improved its tally to eight. Despite governing Delhi from 1998 to 2013, Congress has remained out of power for over a decade.

According to 2025 exit polls, Congress is predicted to witness a further decline, while BJP is poised to make significant gains.

With the final results awaited, all eyes remain on February 8, when the political landscape of Delhi will be reshaped, potentially marking a historic shift in governance.
