Exit polls show Modi's Hindu nationalist party sweeping Delhi election - Most exit polls predict a landslide victory for the BJP in Delhi – though such exercises have a patchy record in India

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist party was trying to regain power in the federal territory that includes New Delhi on Wednesday as residents voted in a state legislature election.

The BJP is set to form its government in Delhi with a "thumping majority" and start working for the all-round progress of the city, the party asserted on Thursday while claiming that people were "angry" with the ruling AAP and its national convenor Arvind Kejriwal.
