Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who has been keenly following the assembly election results, tweeted on Sunday: "Never underestimate the underdog/newcomer", in a reference to the stunning debut of the Aam Aadmi Party in the Delhi polls.
"Never underestimate the underdog/newcomer with a fresh face and message," he posted.
"Which was the post poll survey that gave AAP 6 seats? You need to sack your pollsters, they clearly stayed at home to fill questionnaires," the chief minister added.
According to latest projections on the 70-member assembly elections in Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is leading in 25 seats and the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) in 30 seats.
The Congress has been reduced to the third spot with trends indicating leads only 10 seats.
