A video is being circulated on social media, claiming that the ABP opinion poll for the upcoming 2025 Delhi Assembly Elections predicts a clear majority for the BJP. The video asserts that, according to this poll, the BJP is projected to win 49 seats, while the AAP is expected to secure 16 seats, and the Congress party is forecasted to win 5 seats. However, these claims are entirely false and fabricated.
Sharing the video on X (Formerly Twitter) @shrisaionlines wrote, “Opinion poll predicts 16 seats for AAP, 5 for Congress and 49 for BJP – ABP News.”
