New Delhi [India], February 6 (ANI): BJP candidate from Vishwas Nagar Assembly constituency, Om Prakash Sharma, on Wednesday criticized Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal and claimed that Delhi will soon have a BJP chief minister. He also accused Kejriwal of misleading the public with "lies." Commenting on the exit polls, Sharma told ANI, "The exit polls are in favour of the BJP.
