The Aam Aadmi Party is all set to romp home to power in Delhi for a third successive term, with the party leading in 62 of the total 70 seats, while the BJP was a distant second leading in 8 seats and the Indian National Congress fairing dismally in drawing a blank, according to the latest result trends on the Delhi polls. The AAP in 2015 registered a landslide victory by winning 67 out of the 70 seats and Congress drew blank, with BJP bagging 3 seats. The elections to the Delhi Legislative Assembly were held on February 8.
