Meanwhile, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia also showed confidence for a positive result today by saying, “We are confident because we worked for people in the last 5 years.”

Sisodia also offers prayers at his residence ahead of counting for assembly elections early in the day.

Deputy CM also took Twitter to express his devotional sentiments for the polls through a ‘shlok’ in the Sanskrit language praying to god to show the path of enlightenment.

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय।
मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय।।

हे ईश्वर! हमको असत्य से सत्य की ओर ले चलो। अंधकार से प्रकाश की ओर ले चलो। मृत्यु से अमरता के भाव की ओर ले चलो।
