"All these exit polls will fail. Keep this tweet of mine. BJP will form the government in Delhi with over 48 seats in Delhi. Now, please do not find an excuse to blame Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs)," Tiwari tweeted in Hindi soon after polling in Delhi concluded.

When asked about lower voter turnout in Delhi, the AAP leader said: "There was no anti-incumbency, so voter turnout was less. There is just a marginal difference in voter turnout as compared to the last year."

Saurabh Bhardwaj further attacked Union Minister Giriraj Singh for dismissing accusations of 'distributing cash and liquor' in Delhi to influence the voters' levelled by AAP. The Union Minister had stated that the accusations against him were made to raise an issue of "Bihari versus non-Bihari".

As Delhi polls concluded on Saturday, the exit polls have predicted that the ruling AAP will return to power with an impressive victory in the Delhi Assembly election, while the BJP is expected to improve its numbers but maintaining a distant second position.
