Expressing confidence about winning the Delhi assembly polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Monday said its party workers would now focus on bringing voters to polling booths.

"The anti-Congress wave, a swing towards the BJP and better coordination at the booth level will ensure that the BJP forms the government in Delhi with a sizeable majority," Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj said.

"For the next two days, we will focus on individual booths," she said.

Sushma Swaraj added that the majority of people were smart enough to understand that voting for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is a waste.

"People will not waste their vote by choosing AAP because the fight is between the Congress and BJP," she said, contending that AAP's own opinion polls, which are giving the party clear majority in Delhi, are misleading and fake.

Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said the BJP's victory is certain, and that the AAP has media presence disproportionate to its following.

"AAP has greater media visibility vis-a-vis its true strength," he said.

"The loser in these elections is now known - all that needs to be seen is what will be the BJP's majority, and whether the new party will be able to make its presence felt," he said.

Jaitley also accused the Congress' national leadership of showing no interest in the Delhi polls.

Delhi goes to the polls Wednesday, Dec 4, to elect its new 70-member assembly.
