Sources said that a meeting of the AAP poll observers was held at the residence of Mr Kejriwal over the exit poll results. A total of 54 per cent voters exercised their franchise in the elections to the 270 wards of the MCDs. The polls are a matter of prestige for the BJP, the Conrgess and the AAP.
