The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is ahead of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by two percentage points in terms of vote share but attracting middle-class voters remains a challenge, shows an internal survey by the Arvind Kejriwal-led party.The survey does not talk about the number of seats the AAP is likely to win in the 70-member assembly when elections are held on February 7 after nearly a year of Central rule.

The AAP won 28 seats in the December 2013 poll and ran a minority government for 49 days with outside support from the Congress but the brief and controversy-ridden rule is like a millstone around its neck, especially with the middle-class that is upset over the party’s retreat.The party has been using a campaign to reach out to upper-middle class voters — who constitute at least 17% of the city’s electorate of 13 million — to vote for it.

In the 2013 assembly election, the BJP’s vote share was 33%, followed by the AAP’s 29.4% and the Congress’s 24.5%, with no single party getting a majority.

The AAP has not taken its two-point advantage, in accordance with the survey, as a decisive lead this time around. “We need to be ahead by at least five percentage points to win comfortably. For the party, the challenge is to retain this upward trend through hard work among the people as we get closer to the election,” a party source said.
