BJP is projected to emerge as the single largest party in the Delhi Assembly elections winning between 32 and 42 seats in the 70 member House, said a post poll survey today.
The poll conducted by CNN-IBN-CSDS-The Week said the Sheila Dikshit-led Congress party would receive a major drubbing getting only between 9-17 seats and debutant AAP notching 13-21 seats.
Indicating their disillusionment with the Congress government, 70 per cent of the respondents were against the Sheila Dikshit government getting another chance while only 23 per cent respondents wanted to give her another chance, the poll said.
Only 40 per cent respondents said they were satisfied with Delhi government's performance in last five years while 54 per cent respondents said they were not satisfied.
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal emerged as the most preferred choice for chief minister with 27 per cent preferring him. BJP's Harsh Vardhan came next with 22 per cent favouring him while Sheila was the favourite among only 15 per cent of the respondents.
Sixty-three per cent respondents said they were dissatisfied with the Cong-led UPA government at the Centre, thus having a direct bearing on the outcome of the Delhi Assembly results, the poll suggested.
CNN-IBN-CSDS-The Week survey broadcast on December 4 had given 136-146 seats to BJP in the 230-member Madhya Pradesh Assembly and 45-55 in the 90-member Chhattisgarh Assembly. Rival Congress was projected to get 67-77 in Madhya Pradesh and 32-40 in Chhattisgarh.
It gave 126 to 136 seats to BJP in Rajasthan and 49 to 57 seats to Congress with others getting 12 to 20 seats.
