Exit polls have predicted the BJP will make a clean sweep while the AAP and Congress will lag far behind.
For the AAP, a good performance will be a morale-booster and an affirmation of support the party received in the last assembly polls when it won 67 of the 70 seats. However, an adverse outcome could act as a dampner to the party's plans to expand its footprint in states such as Gujarat and Rajasthan.

The BJP, which is aspiring for a hat-trick in the civic body polls and a win, will help the party keep up the momentum of its large victories in recent assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
