Voting for Delhi Polls 2020 ended at 6 pm, with those in the line allowed to cast their votes until 6.30 pm. The exit polls will be announced after 6.30 pm.
The campaign has ended for one of the most bitterly fought elections in the city. Ever since the Delhi Assembly came into existence one doesn’t remember an election where the development of the city was reduced to such a cameo role in the poll narrative.
The real fight is among the three political parties such as the Aam Admi Party, Congress, and Bhartiya Janta Party is the once which will be more highlighted in the elections. In this election season lot of twists and turns were observed during the campaign and many leaders also tried to polarise the election. Especially lot of attention was given to shaheen bagh protest as many political leaders joined the protest and some criticized it.

A prominent leader from all three parties campaigned in Delhi even PM Narendra Modi visited several places Rahul Gandhi also campaigned for few candidates and current CM Arvind Kejriwal traveled for Polls.
Now we have to see whether Arvind Kejriwal again returns to power or it will be congress or BJP which could bring a surprising win in the national capital.
