Saurabh Bhardwaj exudes confidence of AAP victory in Delhi polls, says exit polls have not reflected party's performance

New Delhi [India], February 5 (ANI): Delhi Urban Development Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj on Wednesday exuded confidence of AAP retaining power in Delhi and said the party's performance has always been better than predicted by exit polls.
Most exit polls predicted BJP forming government in Delhi with a comfortable majority.
"We have fought three elections in Delhi and this is the fourth assembly election we are fighting...2013, 2015 exit polls had shown that we would be defeated. In 2020, we got more seats than shown by exit polls. This election also, it is being shown that we get fewer seats. I feel that exit polls have always shown that AAP would be getting fewer seats," Bhardwaj said.
Bhardwaj dubbed the predictions "wrong" and said that people have not spoken "out of fear".
"BJP always silences common people's voices, so they don't speak out of fear. AAP's vote share is always more than that shown in exit polls," he said
