BJP will form next govt in Delhi: Shahnawaz Hussain

BJP has expressed confidence to form government in Delhi, saying the party would win at least 48 seats and that the opinion and exit polls would be proved wrong.

New Delhi: Asserting that the BJP would form the next government in Delhi after the results are declared for the recently concluded Delhi Assembly elections on February 11, the saffron party on Monday said exit and opinion polls do not present a real picture and it would secure at least 48 out of the total 70 assembly seats.

Speaking exclusively to the ETV Bharat here, BJP national spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said opinion and exit polls generally fail to present the real picture and what is being projected by many of them would be proved wrong once the results are out on February 11.

"BJP's internal survey clearly says that the party is winning 48 seats and we will form the next government in Delhi," he said, adding that people generally don't speak their minds on who would win and who would not.

On being asked what he would say to those who have expressed apprehension on the safety and security of EVMs, the BJP leader said that people who were doing so have accepted their defeat.

"People raising questions on EVMs have accepted their defeat," he added.

Exit polls, conducted by various companies, show the BJP getting 10-20 seats out of the total 70, whereas most of them project Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP securing comfortable majority by winning a good number of seats and forming the government for the second consecutive term.
