While the projections vary between 35 seats and 53 seats for AAP out of the 70 assembly seats, two polls have predicted a complete wipe out of Indian National Congress (INC) from the Delhi assembly. 2015 witnessed one of the fiercest political battles for the post of Delhi Chief Minister with the surprise entry of Kiran Bedi from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as a challenger to Arvind Kejriwal. In an <a href="http://archive.indiaspend.com/cover-story/in-delhi-congress-loss-bjps-gain-not-aaps-80085">earlier study</a>, <strong>IndiaSpend</strong> had analysed all the assembly constituencies of Delhi and how each of the three parties performed in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

Here is the twist - BJP did get the maximum number of seats in 2013 but AAP managed to form the government with the support of Congress. The exit polls had not guessed the decline of Congress in the 2013 Delhi state assembly polls. And AAP was also underestimated. This election, however, is a close tussle between BJP and AAP. BJP’s trump card was the CM candidature of Kiran Bedi. While AAP got all the success from the Anna Hazare movement against corruption, BJP managed to get one of the leaders (Bedi) from the movement. So, will BJP actually benefit from Bedi’s entry? We will know the final outcome on Feburary 10<sup>th.</sup>
