We reject the exit poll results.” Congress contested the Delhi Assembly polls in alliance with the Rashtriya Janta Dal. The final voter turnout in the Delhi polls was 62.59 percent, down from 67.47 percent in 2015 Assembly election, with exit polls predicting an easy win for AAP, which sought to retain power on development plank, against the BJP that ran an aggressive campaign centred around the issues of anti-CAA protests and nationalism.
