**New Delhi, February 6** – A busy day in Indian politics saw several major developments unfold. The Modi government is expected to make a major decision on February 7th, potentially approving the new Income Tax Bill of 2025.
Meanwhile, exit polls for the Delhi Assembly elections are overwhelmingly predicting a BJP victory, potentially ending the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) five-year rule. Eight out of ten exit polls show BJP securing a clear majority, marking a possible return to power after nearly 26 years. While a couple of polls suggest AAP might retain power, most predict a Congress wipeout. Voter turnout in the Delhi elections reached 57.70% by 5 PM on Wednesday, lower than previous elections. The official results will be announced on February 8th.
On the sports front, India’s first ODI against England saw Harsit Rana take two wickets in a single over, leaving England at 77/3.
Finally, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav launched a scathing attack on the Election Commission, claiming it is “dead.”
