Thu Feb 06 12:51:47 UTC 2025: ## BJP Projected to Win Delhi Assembly Elections in Stunning Exit Poll Upset

**New Delhi, February 5, 2025** – A wave of shock rippled through Delhi’s political landscape today as most exit polls predicted a resounding victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2025 Assembly elections, potentially ending their 27-year drought in power in the national capital. The results, released after polling concluded Wednesday, paint a drastically different picture than the prevailing sentiment just days ago.

Several major pollsters, including P-Marq, Peoples Pulse, JVC Poll, People’s Insight, and Chanakya Strategies, projected a comfortable BJP majority, with seat projections ranging from 39 to 60. However, two exit polls, Mind Blink and Wee Preside, bucked the trend, predicting a landslide victory for Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Matrize offered a more ambiguous prediction of a hung assembly. Axis My India is set to release its findings tomorrow.

The AAP, which has dominated Delhi politics for the past decade, immediately dismissed the exit poll results. Party leaders pointed to past instances where exit polls underestimated their performance. BJP leaders, on the other hand, expressed jubilation, with Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva hoping the polls accurately reflect the electorate’s sentiment. Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat echoed this sentiment, highlighting a perceived shift in public opinion.

The Congress, which failed to win any seats in the last two elections, remains largely silent, with one MP expressing a degree of skepticism towards the exit polls and predicting a better-than-expected performance.

Voter turnout was approximately 60.54%, slightly lower than the 2020 elections. The results will be officially announced on February 8th. The conflicting predictions have left Delhi in a state of suspense, with the nation awaiting the final outcome with bated breath. The accuracy of exit polls themselves remains a point of contention, given their past inconsistencies.
