Delhi elections 2015: Bookies bet on a BJP win

CHANDIGARH: For bookies, a BJP government is certain in Delhi after the February polls. Arvind Kejriwal and his AAP won’t repeat their 2013 show while for the Congress, the decimation isn’t over yet.

With the illegal betting market already on fire with the Cricket World Cup on the horizon, the market for Delhi elections is also picking up with political battles between the BJP and AAP getting fierce after Kiran Bedi joined the BJP. Punters expect the BJP to secure 46 seats, a comfortable majority in the 70-member assembly.

Before the former IPS officer joined the party, the predictions weren’t beyond 42.

The AAP, punters claim, will struggle to achieve 18 seats. So certain are the bookies about the Congress’ downfall that they aren’t even accepting bets on the party.
