The BJP is making massive gains in Delhi and could edge out the Aadm Aadmi Party (AAP), if exit polls are to be believed. Here are the five main factors that might have worked for the BJP and worked against the AAP if the election results turn out to be what is being predicted.

As voting for the 70-member Delhi Assembly concluded on Wednesday, most exit polls forecasted a lead for the BJP over the ruling AAP.

BJP, contesting 68 seats, last held power in Delhi from 1993 to 1998, before internal conflicts and rising inflation, particularly the onion crisis, led to its downfall. Since then, it has failed to reclaim the city, despite sweeping victories in national and state elections elsewhere.
