New Delhi:
With 33 seats Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is getting an upper edge in neck to neck contest for Delhi Assembly, according to News Nation’s in-house opinion poll.
With a loss of one seat from what it got earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led BJP will get 31 seats. This will be the first time that BJP will see a downfall in its seat share in any Assembly Polls since the party came to power in Centre.
Arvind Kejriwal is the clear choice for Chief Minister with 40 per cent vote share. He is way ahead of Harsh Vardhan (19%) and BJP’s newly inducted star campaigner Kiran Bedi (15%). Former Delhi CM Sheila Dikhit is still the choice for 10 per cent respondents.
