As Delhi exit polls predict an abysmal performance for Congress, the party's Delhi chief Subhash Chopra, on Saturday, predicted that neither BJP nor AAP will be able to form the government. Claiming that BJP won't be able to win even 20 seats and that AAP won't form the government, Chopra hoped that Congress will perform better, not predicting a Congress government. Results are expected on February 11.

Delhi election campaign

Building on its massive common-man appeal, the AAP government offered several freebies - free electricity, water, free wifi services, free metro and bus rides for women in the run-up to the elections. Meanwhile, Congress, which is reeling from a leadership vacuum since the demise of Sheila Dikshit is eyeing a comeback at the national capital. BJP, which has not held the Delhi Assembly since 1998 is eyeing to rule at Centre and the national capital - but has not named a CM pick. AAP which had launched a Kejriwal-centric campaign, aims at crossing the total with its motto "Abki Baar 67 paar" and keeps asking 'Kejriwal v/s Who?'
