"People of Delhi are fed up of Arvind Kejriwal and his party. I am absolutely confident the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will win. This is a litmus test for the AAP, as these polls will decide that how the national capital has accepted Arvind Kejriwal," said Jaju.


"The people of Delhi have already rejected the Congress and in the past two years the real face of AAP has also been exposed, which is why I am confident that people will vote for the BJP," he added.


The polling for the three Municipal Corporations of Delhi began at 8 am today and will end at 5:30 p.m. Over 2,500 candidates are in the fray.


Over 1.3 crore people are eligible to exercise their voting rights and of them more than 1.1 lakh are first-time voters. More than 2,500 candidates are in the fray.
