Bharatiya Janata Party's chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi on Sunday refused to give any credibility to the exit polls, saying one needs to wait until the final results are out on February 10.

"Survey is always a survey. I think we need to wait for the 10th for the final result," she told mediapersons here.

"I am a person who always takes responsibility....," she added when asked to comment on her earlier statement that she would take the responsibility for whatever situation arises post the declaration of results.

The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP may return to power once again in the national capital, according to various exit polls.

The exit polls have predicted the second place for the Bharatiya Janata Party while the Congress has been placed at a distant third.

67.08 percent voter turnout was recorded in the polling for the 70-member Delhi Assembly. A total of 673 candidates are in the fray this time.

AAP's chief ministerial candidate Arvind Kejriwal is seeking re-election from the New Delhi Assembly seats, while Bedi has contested from Krishna Nagar.

The Congress, which had ruled the national capital for 15 years, has fielded its chief ministerial candidate Ajay Maken from Sadar Bazaar.
