AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal's residence in Delhi decorated ahead of the results. In Punjab, the exit polls, predicted that the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress would be tied and there would be a hung assembly. The AAP has said that if it doesn't win the elections with a comfortable majority in Punjab, it would not align with other political parties to form the state government.

Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal seems to have reversed the trend. He is now leading over nearest rival Ravneet Singh Bittu of Congress by a margin of 2144 votes from Jalalabad.

For now, the exit polls seem to be off the mark. The polls had given AAP and Congress a tie. Punjab witnessed a triangular contest in the assembly polls. It was predicted to be a neck and neck fight between the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party while the ruling Shiromani akali Dal-Bharatiya Janata Party may face a drubbing, according to pollsters.

Exit polls released ahead of the March-11 counting predict the SAD-BJP combine, which has been ruling the state for 10 years, could be struggling to get even into double-digits in the 117-member House due to multiple factors including the anti-incumbency.
