Narendra Modis BJP is looking for comeback at the election in Delhi after 27 years

Voters are counted in India’s capital Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modis Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hopes to arrange a comeback after 27 years.

Most exit vote, after the vote on Wednesday, predicted an absolute majority for BJP, giving them more than 35 seats in the 70-members legislative assembly.

More than 60% of eligible voters cast their vote in the vote according to data released by the Election Commission in India.

Winning Delhi is a prestige match for both front trunners – BJP and the current Aam Aadmi party – considering its symbolic meaning as the capital.

The city, a federally administered territory, has been governed by AAP since 2013, when voters support its strong record for Welfarism. But the party has recently become involved in allegations of corruption – which they have denied.

For BJP, it represents to secure Delhi more than just election success – it would mark a crucial foothold in the country’s capital.

The party, which has had the recent election success in other states, such as Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, has thrown resources on the Delhi campaign, with modi as well as domestic minister Amit Shah participating in events.

Meanwhile, most of the exit measurements are predicted by asking questions to a test set by voters right after leaving the electoral center, fewer than 35 seats to AAP.

Congress, the most important opposition party at national level, is also in the race, but opinion polls indicate a bleak view of it.

The party controlled Delhi from 1998 to 2013, but was subjected to allegations of corruption that then voters turn to AAP instead. It has failed to put a touch since.

However, analysts warn that the exit polls released by various news agencies have often been wrong in the past and are not impartial.

Delhi has a unique management structure.

The most important decisions related to public order, police and land are made by Lieutenant Governor (LG), appointed by the federal government. The state legislature handles questions including education, health and public services.

This division has often caused friction between the federal government and the state legislator when driven by rival parties, analysts say.

The power structure is also a reason why the election campaign in Delhi is more focused on welfare than on political or identity issues playing a greater role in elections elsewhere in the country.

The AAP and BJP campaigns promised both improvements to public schools and free healthcare as well as cash distributions for women.

Meanwhile, BJP also hoped for a boost from last week’s federal budget, which cut income tax for the payroll middle class, an important voting block in the capital.

Experts say that while exit voting is not the last word, they show that Modi remains popular among Indian voters, despite losing his party to his direct majority in last year’s People’s election.

Much of the BJP campaign targeted AAPS boss ARVIND KEJRIWALAn anti-graft activist who was jailed in a corruption case relating to a now-cut alcohol sales policy last year.

Kejriwal who denies all claims and were released on guarantee In September, he accused Modi’s party of implementing a “political vendetta” against him and AAP, charges that BJP denies.

The Supreme Court’s guarantee conditions prohibit him from entering the minister’s office or signing files. Kejriwal withdrew from the roles after his release from the prison, and there are questions about whether he could resume the role.

However, one topic remained firm from the agenda during the bitter week’s long campaign – Delhi’s multi -year air pollution crisis.

Despite being an urgent question year after year, none of the party leaders or their manifestations treated the dangerous air that blankets the city of more than 30 million for much of the year.
