New Delhi [India], February 6 : After most of the exit polls predicted the BJP comeback in the national capital after 27-years, Congress candidate Sandeep Dikshit said on Thursday that the predictions did not potray acorrect picture of the Delhi Assembly Elections result as they have underestimated the Aam Aadmi Party.
Speaking to ANI, Dikshit said that the Congress would have easily received 17-18 per cent of votes.
