NEW DELHI: A day after five opinion polls put AAP in the driver’s seat in the Delhi polls , another five opinion polls on Wednesday found BJP edging ahead in the race to the 70-member assembly. As many as four surveys predicted BJP to get a clear majority. Surveys by India TV-C Voter, The Week-IMBR, IBN 7-Data Mineria and Zee-Taleem Research Foundation (TRF) gave BJP 36 out of 70 seats. News Nation, on the other hand, predicted a hung assembly with BJP winning 31-35 seats with AAP notching 30-34 in a neck-and-neck contest.It, however, put Arvind Kejriwal ahead of Kiran Bedi as the preferred choice for CM with 45% people voting for him against 33% for Bedi.The India TV-C Voter poll gave AAP 31 seats and Congress just two, while The Week-IMBR predicted 29 seats for AAP and four for Congress. Zee TV-TRF gave a range of 32-36 seats for the BJP while AAP was expected to get 30-34 seats. It predicted just four seats for Congress.IBN 7-Data Mineria’s survey gave AAP only 27 seats, predicting seven seats for Congress. But News Nation predicted no more than three-five seats for Congress with one likely to be won by another party.The surveys came on a day that an internal survey by AAP claimed a clear majority for it, giving itself 51 seats followed by 15 for BJP and four for Congress. AAP’s Yogendra Yadav, a psephologist, said in the best case scenario, AAP may get 57 seats and in the worst, at least 44 seats.The India Today-Cicero pre-poll survey on Tuesday had projected AAP would get 38-46 seats and BJP 19-25 seats. Congress was given only 3-7 seats. An average of the five surveys declared on Monday found AAP forming the government with clear majority of 36 seats and BJP securing 30.
