Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Jagdish Mukhi on Tuesday said that his party would win the Delhi Assembly polls with the biggest margin ever and form the government in the national capital.
"We will win with the biggest margin ever, we will cross the 35 number and form the government........we have fought unitedly....," he told ANI here.
According to reports, the AAP is leading in 29 seats, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ahead in 12 seats. The Congress is leading in just five seats.
Five out of seven exit polls have predicted that the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP may return to power once again in the national capital, with the second place for the BJP. The Congress, which ruled Delhi for 15 years, has been placed at a distant third.
Counting of votes has begun for the Delhi Assembly elections. It is being carried out at 14 centres across the city amidst tight security.
The counting started at 8 a.m. and all results are expected to be out by afternoon.
The Election Commission has made elaborate arrangements for the counting of votes. Counting is taking place at 14 centres in nine districts of the national capital.
A three-tier security has been put in place at all the 14 counting centres.
A voter turnout of 67.08 percent was recorded in the polling for the 70-member Delhi Assembly. A total of 673 candidates are in the fray this time.
