 "You look at any exit poll historically, AAP is always given a smaller number of seats, whether its 2013, 2015 or 2020. But whatever is shown, AAP gets a lot a greater number of seats in reality. AAP will register a historic victory, and Arvind Kejriwal will become CM for the fourth time, "she said, news agency PTI reported.

AAP candidate from Greater Kailash Vidhan Sabha Saurabh Bharadwaj said, " We have fought 3 elections of Delhi and this is the 4th Assembly election we are fighting...2013, 2015 exit polls had shown that we would be defeated and in 2020, in exit polls, it was shown that we would be getting fewer numbers. Same way, in 2025 also, it is being shown that we will be getting fewer seats. I feel that exit polls have always shown that AAP would be getting fewer votes. BJP always silence common people's voices so they don't speak out of fear...AAP's vote share always comes more than what is shown in the exit polls."

BJP candidate for Kalkaji Vidhan Sabha, Ramesh Bidhuri, asserted that this is the Modi wave. He mentioned that the people of Delhi desire the same development that has been seen across the country under PM Narendra Modi.

 

He credited the efforts of party workers and the leadership's guidance for their success, stating that he doesn't trust exit polls and believes the BJP's seat count will increase. He confidently predicted that the party would surpass the 50-seat mark.

Reacting to the exit polls predictions, Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva said, " I want to congratulate the people of Delhi, people of Delhi have given so much love and blessings to BJP today...in Delhi. Áapda' is leaving and BJP is coming...if somebody does fake voting, they will be caught...we have been saying about this since day one, and it's good that they have been caught...people of Delhi want a corruption-free govt and they want development."

Over this prediction, congress MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla asserted that those who claimed Congress has no presence on the ground will witness the party securing a significant number of seats. He added that AAP will not make a comeback and predicted that no party will secure a clear majority, with all three parties winning an equal number of seats.

 

BJP candidate from New Delhi Assembly Seat Parvesh Verma told ANI," It is certain that Lotus will bloom on 8th February. We will give good governance, clean Yamuna, and employment in Delhi. Arvind Kejriwal is confident that he is losing."

 

BJP MP Harsh Malhotra also reacted to the predictions and said, "BJP has been exposing the corrupt face of the AAP for the past 10 years. The public has understood that AAP and Arvind Kejriwal have cheated the public of Delhi...BJP will be forming the government in Delhi with an absolute majority...As they (AAP) are losing the elections, they will now blame the EVMs."

According to ANI, AAP leader Sushil Gupta remarked that this is the fourth election, and on each occasion, exit polls predicted that AAP wouldn't form the government in Delhi. He emphasised that Arvind Kejriwal has consistently worked for the people of Delhi and expressed confidence that the results will be in favour of the Aam Aadmi Party, leading them to form the government.

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari told ANI," The exit polls I saw right now, I feel like our exact polls (results) are going to be better than exit polls...the reaction we saw among people, BJP is coming to power (in Delhi)...it is BJP's homecoming...I thank people of Delhi..."

AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said, "Exit polls have always proven to be wrong for the AAP. We have always formed the government with a clear majority and this time will be no different... There are some exit polls which show us winning but I would like to tell everyone to wait for 8 February, Arvind Kejriwal will be forming the government with a huge majority."

The post-poll predictions came shortly after the voting concluded across 70 assembly seats in Delhi.
