The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) chief ministerial candidate for Delhi Harsh Vardhan is "upbeat" about the assembly election results, to be announced Sunday, and quite "calm", an aide said Thursday.
"He got up in the morning around 8 a.m. and read the newspapers. He was happy to see the exit poll results," the aide said. Many exit polls, the results of which were published Thursday, a day after polling, showed the BJP leading in Delhi.
Harsh Vardhan attended the funeral of a neighbour around 10 a.m., and returned home to spend time with his family -- his octogenarian mother, wife, two sons and a daughter.
In the afternoon, he went to the residence of Nitin Gadkari, BJP election in-charge for Delhi, to attend a "review meeting" of the polls, the aide said.
ABP News-Neilsen exit poll said the BJP is set to win the assembly polls in Delhi, dislodging the Congress which has had three consecutive terms in office.
Delhi registered a record 65.86 percent voter turnout in the polling Wednesday.
