As reported by PTI, Singh said, “If companies that give massages and run spas, conduct exit polls then you know what will be the condition of exit polls. I would only request everyone to wait till February 8.”

A total of 699 candidates are engaged in a keen battle that would decided whether the AAP comes to power in Delhi for a fourth term or the BJP gets a chance to form a government in the national capital after 27 years. The Congress also made all-out effort to regain its foothold in the city politics.
Meanwhile, Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal said, “Delhi has voted and I believe that Delhi has tried to vote such people who will actually work for Delhi. As far as exit polls are concerned, I feel it is too early to give any reaction over it because exit polls are not always right. I hope whichever party forms the government works for the benefit of people of Delhi, which has become a dustbin now.”
Here's what exit polls said
The exit polls varied in their predictions of the BJP's victory margin, with one poll suggesting the party could win 51-60 out of 70 Delhi assembly seats. Two polls also forecasted an AAP victory. These exit polls were released after the conclusion of voting in the Delhi assembly elections on Wednesday, ANI reported.
According to the P-MARQ exit poll, the BJP is likely to secure 39-49 assembly seats, AAP 21-31 seats, and Congress 0-1 seats.
