Votes are set to be counted in India's capital Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is hoping to stage a comeback after 27 years. Most exit polls, following the vote on Wednesday, predicted an absolute majority for the BJP, giving them more than 35 seats in the 70-member legislative assembly.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his victory message promised all-round development of Delhi under the new BJP government. The BJP's vote share is leading, and key AAP leaders are trailing in important seats.

India Prime Minister Narendra Modi reacted to BJP's Delhi victory in the Delhi elections. "Jana Shakti is paramount! Development wins, good governance triumphs. I bow to my dear sisters and brothers of Delhi for this resounding and historic mandate to BJP.
