The Aam Aadmi Party’s image has suffered a blow for the midnight raids at Khirki Extension led by party MlA and law Minister Somnath Bharti. An ABP News-Nielsen opinion poll suggests that around 55 per cent people in Delhi feel that recent incident involving Bharti will have a negative impact on the image of Aam Aadmi Party. However, 40 per cent people said the incident won’t harm the party’s image.
The survey also revealed that 50 per cent of respondents felt that Kejriwal should not have staged dharna and protested
against alleged non-cooperation by officers of the Delhi Police in the aftermath of the incident in Khirki Extension.
However, another survey suggests that Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party will gain handsomely if lok Sabha and Delhi Assembly polls are held today, says a snap poll conducted by India TV-CVoter. AAP may get 43 out of 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly, leaving behind BJP with 21 seats, Congress 4 and ‘others’ 2 seats, says the snap poll. The snap poll was conducted among 4273 randomly selected respondents across the Capital from January 22 to 25.
In the lok Sabha poll stakes for seven seats from Capital, both AAP and BJP are set to share three seats each, leaving one seat to the Congress, says the poll projection. AAP’s vote share is projected to increase from 30 per cent that it got during last December elections to 46 per cent if Assembly polls are held in Delhi right now.
