Aam Admi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal Wednesday urged voters to fast until they cast their vote.
Kejriwal also said he was "confident of the results" after casting his vote at Hanuman Road polling booth in New Delhi.
"I appeal to the people, observe fast till you cast your vote," Kejriwal said.
"People are ready, they have made up their mind to remove the corrupt. I am very confident of the results. It will not be my victory but that of the people," he said.
Kejriwal added that he will meditate for the next two days and "return on Dec 7".
AAP leader Manish Sisodia too cast his vote in Patparganj.
Voting began at 8 a.m. Wednesday to decide the political fate of 810 candidates contesting for the 70-member Delhi assembly. Nearly 12 million voters are eligible to exercise their franchise.
