Fact
A Google search for “India Today” and “Delhi pre-poll survey” did not yield any report by the news outlet on the alleged survey.
We then skimmed through the “Delhi Election” section on the official website of the news major, but did not spot the alleged viral poll predicting maximum seats for the BJP. India Today’s official YouTube channel too did not feature any video report or discussion on any such survey for the upcoming polls.

The outlet’s social media handles did not carry any such “pre-poll survey” showing the BJP in lead in the Delhi Elections.
Moreover, the outlet has termed the viral graphic showing an alleged survey on Delhi Polls as “fake”. “Fake polls, falsely attributed to Aaj Tak and India Today, are currently being circulated ahead of the Delhi Elections 2025. The India Today Group has not conducted any exit polls for Delhi,” India Today said in an X post, dated February 3, 2025.
Hence, the alleged India Today survey on 2025 Delhi Elections was found to be fake.
Result: False
