Arvind Kejriwal reacts to exit polls claiming BJP sweeping Gujarat
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has reacted to the exit polls that have predicted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will thwart the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) scare in registering its seventh straight assembly win in Gujarat.
"The results are positive," said Kejriwal and added as quoted by NDTV, "For a new party to get 15 to 20 per cent vote share, that too in a BJP stronghold, is a big deal."
As per Aaj Tak-Axis My India, BJP is set to bag 129-151, Congress 16-30 and AAP 9-21.
According to ABP News-CVoter, BJP will get 128-140, Congress 31-43 and AAP 3-11.
Times Now-ETG gave BJP 139 seats, Congress 30 and AAP 11.
If the exit polls are proven correct, it would make it the BJP's best performance since 2002 when PM Modi came to power in Gujarat months after the riots in which 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed.
The Gujarat as well as Himachal Pradesh poll results will be declared on Dec 8.
