According to the opinion poll conducted by ABP News and Nielsen, Sheila Dikshit and BJP leader Vijay Goel are expected to have an equal split as the Chief Ministerial face. The survey also reveals that AAP is likely to bag around 18 seats, whereas, other parties and independent candidates are likely to manage only two seats in the Delhi Assembly elections scheduled for December 4.
Meanwhile, the survey also revealed that at an overall level, corruption and price rise are the main issue for change in voting intention from INC to BJP. Interestingly, price rise emerged as a major influencer for female respondents.
