These are self surveys.  Other surveys also seem to indicate AAP still popular and making life difficult for BJP to win Delhi.  Kiran Bedi move did not seem to go well within BJP.

These are self surveys.  Other surveys also seem to indicate AAP still popular and making life difficult for BJP to win Delhi.  Kiran Bedi move did not seem to go well within BJP.

AAP might come ahead (there is massive Muslim consolidation in favor of AAP) and that affects about 10 constituencies. Some of the Jhuggi  folks who are taken in by Kejriwals claim of free water, cheap electricity etc.. might also vote for him. Congress is handing their votes on a platter to AAP just to deny a victory for BJP.
In debates Salman Soz was literally behaving like a spokesperson of AAP rather than Congress. Essentially BJP is fighting a stealth alliance of AAP and Congress, with Congress unconditionally giving their votes away, by not fighting enough.

The problem is that his speeches still reeks of negative mindset. He is for confrontation and is not about getting things done. Basically he has not understood governance. Get ready for Dharna's, headline grabbing moves that blatantly violate laws. In essence the perfect anarchist.

I think that (hope I am wrong) if he is elected many of the unlawful stuff he did earlier is going to come back
a) Secret service made up of AAP volunteers to supposedly catch corrupt. 
b) Rewarding a section of his supporters with special benefits discriminating against the rest.
c) New ways of encouraging Political Islamists but outwardly declaring that he is against identity politics.
d) Pass Jan lokpal bill with clauses that are difficult to enforce  and/or clauses that are ambiguous and vague.
e) Resolution for statehood without resolving with centre the jurisdiction of federal properties, consulates etc..
f) All kinds of cases will be filed on all and sundry (BJP workers), Industrialists
g) Industrialists will get a daily dose of inclusion in black lists, with no basis.
h) Fiscal control will be given the go by. The guy will spend everything and blame federal government
    for not bailing Delhi out. Statehood lets him borrow and take on debt. 
i) Somebody calculated that the sum total of all his promises is about 7 to 8 times the current Delhi budget
   of 40000 Cr Rupees.
 
Kiran bedi seems to have a history as a doer,  but seems poor in communication. Unless the women block vote her, I do not see BJP making it to past the 35 mark. BJP supporters are  not foolish enough to vote for AAP just because Kiran has been hoisted. So that is not the big thing. Booth level management needs to be handled by someone else with deep roots like Harshvardhan/Satish etc. If the BJP guys shoot themselves in the foot just because Kiran was made CM, they are morons, and deserve the anarchists, who will go after them on flimsy grounds.

If BJP Loses, I hope she is rehabilitated in the federal government for a  post that can utilize her expertise. Leader of opposition is suitable for those who only question

Kejriwal will - in case of a win - hold a victory Bandh in Delhi before assuming the CM post.

Kerijwal with at least a Crore declared in Assets wants Gas Subsidy. Apparently he does not like the subsidy being
restricted to the truly deserving
