Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party surged ahead of the BJP towards a thumping victory as the counting of votes progressed today, but remained short of the 67 it won in 2015. An aggregate of five exit polls has given it 56 seats. The BJP, after a slow start, made steady gains but remained a distant second. As AAP started building a stage for its victory speech, state BJP chief Manoj Tiwari, who predicted 55-odd seats for his party, reminded supporters that many rounds of counting are still to come. The campaign for Delhi has been has been bitter and polarised, the political discourse bogged down by hate speeches. The BJP has been banking on the anti-CAA protests at Shaheen Bagh for a surge. AAP has been hoping for its performance in health and education sectors and the free power and water will see it through.
