BJP gains ground, but to stay out of power

New Delhi, Feb 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) It may not look promising for the BJP as far as the Delhi election results are concerned, but it is likely to have gained significant ground, according to the IANS-CVoter Exit Poll.

The BJP, which got just 3 seats in 2015, is likely to get anything between 5 and 19 seats, according to the exit poll.

Even at its worst, it will be a better performance by the BJP in comparison to its 2015 show. At its best, it will be more than five times the BJP's score in 2015.

So where is it expected to gain ground? According to the exit poll, it is likely to get anything between 1 and 3 seats in Chandni Chowk, East Delhi, New Delhi, West Delhi and North-East Delhi. The saffron party is likely to win anything between zero and 2 seats from North-West Delhi and South Delhi.

To put things into perspective, the last time the BJP won from Rohini, Vishwas Nagar and Mustafabad. Vijender Gupta, Om Prakash Sharma and Jagdish Pradhan won from those seats, respectively.

According to the IANS-CVoter Exit Poll, the BJP has a projected seat share of 36 per cent this time as against 32.2 per cent it got in 2015.

This year, the BJP went all out to win Delhi with Union Home Minister Amit Shah pressing almost all sitting BJP Chief Ministers and majority of its Lok Sabha members to campaign in the national capital.

The BJP held nearly 5,000 rallies and a series of roadshows to make a case for the saffron party, which has been out of power in Delhi for more than two decades now.

But if IANS-CVoter exit poll is anything to go by, the BJP may have to sit in the opposition for another five years.
