What do exit poll predictions mean for Delhi?

Apart from AxisMyIndia, most exit polls predicted a victory for the BJP, and a setback for AAP led by Arvind Kejriwal. 

Exit polls are not always accurate

Meanwhile, exit polls have often got predictions wrong as well. For example, at least 12 exit polls predicted a landslide win for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 including India Today- Axis My India predicted 361-401 seats for NDA. However, when the results came, the BJP-led NDA finished with just 293 seats.

Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party won the last two elections with a 2/3rd majority. In 2015, the party won 67 seats in the 70-member assembly. AAP repeated the feat in 2020, bagging 62 seats. The BJP has been out of power since 1998. Delhi recorded 60.42 per cent polling in this elections.
