Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party could get 36 seats in Saturday's Delhi election, exactly the number it needs for a simple majority to form government, according to an aggregate of six major opinion polls published over the last three days.
The BJP and its ally Akali Dal will place second with 30 seats, two less than they had in the last election in December 2013, and the Congress will get four seats, it shows.
The poll of opinion polls is based on those conducted by TNS, C-fore, Nielsen, Cicero, Taleem, C-Voter, News Nation and Data Mineria. Fieldwork for these polls was reportedly done in the last week.
Delhi votes on Saturday; results will be counted on February 10.
Arvind Kejriwal is running against the BJP's Kiran Bedi for Chief Minister of Delhi. In the last election, the BJP was four short of a majority.
AAP then formed a minority government with support from the Congress. But just 49 days into his term, Mr Kejriwal quit, a decision that he has repeatedly said he deeply regrets. His resignation came after an anti-graft proposal he had championed was stalled by other parties, including the Congress, in the state legislature.
Delhi was then governed for several months by the Centre via President's Rule. In November last year, the assembly was dissolved, paving the way for new elections.
The BJP has been counting for the battle in Delhi on the "Modi wave"- the popularity of the Prime Minister that delivered the party to power in states like Maharashtra and Haryana.
But the decision to induct former police officer Kiran Bedi and nominate her as its presumptive Chief Minister caused a deep rift within the Delhi branch of the BJP. Worried by the dissent and the lukewarm reception for Ms Bedi at some rallies, BJP chief Amit Shah has closely supervised the party's strategy for Delhi in the last week.
