Verma is ahead of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Kejriwal by over 400 votes in the New Delhi constituency.
In the bigger picture too, the AAP is facing a setback as Arvind Kejriwal's party is staring at a stunning defeat in the hands of the BJP, which aims for a return to power in Delhi after 27 years.
As per the trends, the BJP is leading in 45 out of 70 seats while the AAP is languishing in 25.
The Congress, which was leading in one or two seats in the morning, is now down to zero.
Delhi CM Atishi is trailing in Kalkaji while former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia is now leading in Jangpura after staying behind since the morning.
