Asked about early exit polls giving the AAP a clean sweep, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi said he will wait for the results to be declared on March 10. “The boxes (sealed EVMs) will say what is going to happen. Wait for the 10th of March,” Channi was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Congress leader Sunil Jakhar said, “Let’s just wait for 3 more days as the situation will be clear on March 10.”
The Axis My India survey has projected 76-90 seats for the AAP in Punjab, taking it beyond the majority mark of 59 seats. The Jan Ki Baat poll has predicted 60-84 seats for the Aam Aadmi Party, while the P-Marq survey said the party is tipped to land between 62 and 70 seats. As per the ETG Research, AAP could win 70-75 seats, and the Polstrat pegged the party beyond the magic number but lower at 56-61 seats.
