With exit polls having projected the BJP defeat in Delhi, party leaders met today to take stock of the situation and motivate the party workers.

Delhi BJP President Satish Upadhyay said that though he would not like to challenge the exit poll results he is confident that the party will form a government. "I don't want to challenge the exit poll results, they have different terminology, different techniques. Why should I challenge them? But as far as my techniques are concerned, I am confident BJP will form the government," he said. "Maybe the margin will be thin ...earlier we thought 45-50 seats..I am not boasting of that but we are confident," he added.

Upadhyay met BJP leaders R P Singh, Prabhat Jha, Ram Lal and Shazia Ilmi among others in the evening to take a stock of the current situation.
