Zee Media Bureau, New Delhi :With just a day to go for the Assembly Elections in Delhi, there’s optimism in the camps of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). For the Congress, there’s pessimism abound as surveys after surveys have said the party that had ruled Delhi for 15 consecutive years will see a repeat, or even worse, of the 2013 poll performance.The aggressive campaigning by all political parties came to an end at 6:00 pm on Thursday.Polling begins at 8:00 am on Saturday, and wraps up at 6:00 pm. Results will be out on February 10.Leaders of all the parties, including Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Ajay Maken, took out road shows, held rallies and met voters door-to-door in the run-up to D-day.Campaigning picked up in the last phase as opinion polls across the spectrum gave advantage to the Kejriwal-led AAP, which ran a 49-day government post 2013 polls.In the initial phase, the BJP was pegged to win the maximum seats – even majority – but as the campaigning progressed and polls neared, the AAP appeared to have leapfrogged in the race. However, opinion poll numbers have a habit of being different from the actual results.
