The Aam Aadmi Party, rocked by allegations of acceptingdonations from dubious sources, is set to emerge as thesingle largest, with its leader Arvind Kejriwal still people’sfirst choice as chief minister, two separate surveys havefound. An ABP News and Nielsen opinion poll predictedthat AAP will win in 35 of Delhi’s 70 constituencies. Thesurvey was conducted after interviewing 6,396respondents between January 25-31 and assumed amargin of error of five percent. The opinion poll projectedAAP as the probable winner in Delhi, with a narrow marginvictory – just 50 percent of the total Delhi constituenciesand 37 percent vote share. BJP is close behind with 29seats and 33 percent vote share, according to the opinionpoll. The party that led Delhi for 15 years – Congress – isfacing a rout with six seats and 18 percent of the voteshare. The survey also suggested that Kejriwal is the most-preferred chief ministerial candidate and that BJP’s choiceto push Kiran Bedi as CM is not helping the party getadditional votes. The stage is all set for counting of votesfor Delhi Assembly on Tuesday. Election Commission hasmade all the necessary arrangements and candidates areanxiously awaiting for the results of the fiercely-contestedelection. The mood is upbeat in Aam Aadmi Party withthe exit polls saying that it will win the polls to 70-memberassembly. Bharatiya Janata Party workers appearedapprehensive due to exit poll results predicting a defeatbut party leaders have expressed confidence about acomfortable victory. The Congress appears reconciled thatit will finish third and party leaders are hoping its tally isnot worse than eight it won in the 2013 election. TheElection Commission has made elaborate arrangementsfor counting across 14 centres in the national capital.Counting will start at 8 a.m. and a picture about the likelywinner is expected in the next two hours. Though it is aworking day for residents of the capital, the trends areexpected to be closely followed on radio, television andthe web. The result will have wider political ramifications,particularly for the BJP, which is the party in power at thecentre and has had a good electoral run since the Lok Sabhaelection. Over 10,000 security personnel, including fromthe paramilitary forces have been gaurding 20,000 electronicvoting machines (EVM) which contain the votes cast inDelhi polls Saturday. With margins expected to be slim onmany seats, political parties have asked their candidates tokeep a close watch on counting and immediately raise anysuspicion. Volunteers of AAP have been keeping a round-the-clock watch outside some centres where EVMs havebeen kept. The process of counting will be videographed.AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, who spent a relaxedday Sunday and watched a movie with some party leaders,Monday met party workers and volunteers from New Delhiseat which he is contesting. AAP workers have plannedmassive celebrations ahead for anticipated victory. Stageshave been erected outside the AAP office in East PatelNagar for the media and volunteers. Four LED televisionssets have been installed in the open by AAP for workers tosee trends and results. Kejriwal is expected to arrive atparty headquarters in the afternoon to address people. Inits maiden election December 2013, the AAP stunninglywon 28 seats compared to 31 of BJP and formed agovernment with Congress backing after a hung assembly.
