It seems only natural that I end this political numbers game with Delhi, The national capital of India. Delhi has always witnessed 2-way contest between BJP and Congress. Traditionally it has been a BJP stronghold with the party winning a majority in several general elections. However since the time Sheila Dikshit took over as the CM in 1998 the city-state has witnessed a paradigm shift in favour of the Congress. In fact Ms. Dikshit is the first congress CM since Mohan Lal Sukhadia to win 3 assembly elections in a row. She is known to be very popular among the electorate of the city and is known for her pro-development image. Delhi has had a major makeover in the last decade with CNG, Metro, Flyovers changing the face of the capital. The only problem has been on the law and order front which in Delhi's case is woefully bad. Congress is in power at both the centre and state but that still doesn't seem to affect it on the surface. Delimitation will be a factor in the polls. Congress retains its hold on the Delhi but expect BJP to give it a tough fight in West Delhi and North East Delhi.
Seat projection:
TOTAL Seats - 7
Cong - 6
BJP - 1
