NCP (SP) leader Rohit Pawar said the BJP would not have won even 20 seats if the Congress and the AAP jointly contested the Delhi Assembly election.

Vote counting for the Delhi assembly polls begins Saturday at 8 am across 19 counting stations. The AAP seeks a fourth term against BJP’s bid to end a 26-year drought. Exit polls suggest BJP’s lead, while AAP remains optimistic about retaining power.

AAP neither has the leadership nor workers in most of the states due for elections in the next couple of years. It also would need to prepare to protect its turf in Punjab
