Statements on Exit Poll

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari- I have just seen the exit polls, I think our results are going to be better than the exit polls. The reaction we have seen among the people shows that BJP is coming to power. This is BJP’s homecoming.

AAP leader Sushil Gupta- This is our fourth election and every time the exit polls did not show AAP forming the government. Arvind Kejriwal has worked for the people of Delhi. The results will come in favour of AAP on February 8.

Congress MP Gurjit Singh Aujla- Those who used to say that Congress is not present on the ground will see Congress winning a good number of seats. AAP will not come back. No party will get a clear majority. All three parties will get equal number of seats.

Understanding Exit Polls: How They Predict Election Outcomes

An exit poll is a survey conducted during an election to gauge the public’s voting preferences. Unlike opinion polls, which are carried out before voting, exit polls are conducted immediately after voters cast their ballots. Volunteers from exit poll agencies stand outside polling booths and ask voters questions about their choices as they leave the voting site.

These responses are then analyzed to predict the election outcomes. Typically, exit poll results are made public about one hour after the final phase of voting concludes. The predictions are based on the trends observed in the answers provided by the voters during this process.

Total Seats: 7
BJP Won All Lok Sabha Seats

PartySeats Won
BJP07
AAP00
Congress00

This means BJP secured a clean sweep in Delhi in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

The equations of Lok Sabha elections changed in the assembly elections

In the Lok Sabha elections, AAP and Congress fought together in the INDIA Block on 7 seats in Delhi. Under this, AAP fought on 4 and Congress on 3 Lok Sabha seats, but BJP won all the seven seats.

BJP got a total of 54.7% votes on all these seats while INDIA Block got 43.3% votes. The average margin of victory and defeat on all seats was 1.35 lakh. If we look at the Lok Sabha results assembly wise, BJP seems to be getting a clear majority. BJP is winning 52 assembly seats.

Delhi Legislative Assembly Elections 2025
Based on Lok Sabha results, BJP gets majority in the Assembly

Seats: 70 | Majority: 36

PartySeats Won
BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party)52
AAP (Aam Aadmi Party)10
INC (Indian National Congress)8

Although in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP won all seven seats and took the lead in 65 assembly seats, but in the 2020 assembly elections, AAP managed to win 62 seats. At the same time, BJP got only 8 seats.

Similarly, in the massive Modi wave of 2014, BJP won all the seven Lok Sabha seats and was ahead in 60 assembly seats. But in the 2015 assembly elections, AAP won 67 seats and BJP was reduced to 3 seats.

Around 18% swing voters prove to be kingmakers in the assembly elections. Delhi elections are held about 9 months after the Lok Sabha elections. A big change in voting trend is seen in such a short time. If we analyse the last three assembly and Lok Sabha elections, swing voters have been deciding the power in Delhi.


Delhi Elections 2025: 58.06% voting: Highest in North-East Delhi at 64.33%, lowest in South-East at 54.58%

Voting for 70 seats of Delhi Assembly is over. 58.06% people have cast their votes this time. The highest voting percentage was 64.33% in North-East Delhi and the lowest was 54.58% in South-East. This is the parliamentary constituency of BJP MP Manoj Tiwari. This is the lowest voting percentage in the last 12 years.
