Extrapolating on the MCD elections, the IndiaToday-AxisMyIndia Delhi Opinion Poll has made some projections today about what will happen if the Assembly elections were held in the capital city now. According to the poll, there would be a massive drubbing for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. As per the statistics thrown up by the poll, the result of 2015 assembly poll would be totally upended. So, from a tally of just 3 seats in the Delhi assembly, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will grab between a mammoth 56-62 seats (a gain of 56), while the AAP would crash from a high of 67 to a low of between 6-7 (a loss of 62). The Congress, which was totally wiped out from the assembly will get as many as 4-7 (a gain of 6) while the others will remain at zero.

The total U-turn in fortunes is clear in the voting share too, according to the opinion poll. So, while in Assembly elections 2015, BJP managed to get a vote share of 32%, in 2017 it would win as much as 43% share (gain of 11%). The Congress, which got a vote share of 9.7% will get as much as 23% (a gain of 13.3%). AAP, which got a vote share of 54% then will now get 24% of the vote share (a loss of 30%). The ‘others’, who got a vote share of 4.3% will now get 10% (a gain of 5.7%). Clearly, the AAP is looking at a huge backlash from the public as it has not been able to implement the policies it had promised.
