Delhi Exit Polls Predict BJP’s Comeback After 27 Years, AAP Rejects Forecast, Congress Eyes Better Performance
The national capital’s political atmosphere has heated up as the exit poll predictions foretell the possible return of the Bharatiya Janata Party to power in Delhi after 27 long years. The significant setback to the Aam Aadmi Party and congress that could see an improved performance bring politics to the streets, and political leaders of major parties reacted with a mix of confidence, rejection, and caution as they await the final results.
BJP Confident of a Comeback
BJP leaders expressed great optimism about winning after the declaration of exit polls. Party MP Manoj Tiwari said that the actual results would be even better than predicted. “BJP is coming to power in Delhi. It is our homecoming, and I thank the people of Delhi for their support,” he said.

He is confident that the BJP will form the government with an absolute majority. Meanwhile, BJP’s New Delhi Assembly candidate Parvesh Verma declared, “The lotus will bloom on February 8. We will ensure good governance, a clean Yamuna, and employment opportunities in Delhi.”

AAP Dismisses Exit Polls as Inaccurate
However, AAP had thoroughly dismissed the exit poll results and termed it to be very unreliable. AAP’s candidate for Greater Kailash, Saurabh Bharadwaj said that earlier also, the exit polls have underrated AAP’s performance. “In 2013 and 2015, the exit polls were saying that we would lose but we won. Even in 2020, they predicted less number of seats for us and we emerged with a landslide victory. This time, again the same is repeating in 2025,” he claimed.
