 "Don't believe in surveys: Sheila Dikshit")
A day before the declaration of assembly election results, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said on Saturday that she did not believe in exit polls and surveys.
"We don't work on the basis of surveys. I would say respectfully, I don't believe in these surveys," Dikshit said in response to a question about surveys that are indicating a tough fight for the New Delhi seat from where she contested.
Three-time chief minister Dikshit is up against Bharatiya Janata Party's Vijendra Gupta and Aam Aadmi Party's Arvind Kejriwal for this seat.
Asked about her expectations, Dikshit said: "Our work is done, when the counting is done, we will see the results."
Results for the December 4 Delhi assembly elections will be declared on Sunday.
