It is definitely a rude shock to the YSR Congress party to lose out to the Telugu Desam Party in the race to power in Seemandhra region.
In less than 24 hours, 2014 general elections results will be out. Lot of speculations are being done about who will win majority seats and which party will form the government.
Notwithstanding exit polls giving a clear mandate to BJP-led NDA, TRS said the party still prefers to support a Congress-led UPA government at the Centre.
On the eve of results day, there is heavy betting in the state. After betting on YSRCP initially, now heavy bets are being placed on TDP.
It is being said that TRS leader K Chandrasekhara Rao has already started discussions about who should be made ministers and which IAS officers should be sitting in the Secretariat.
Pawan Kalyan who founded Jana Sena just before elections, conveniently set it aside and campaigned for the TDP-BJP alliance.
The Congress party is learnt to be trying to take the help of Telugu Desam Party in capturing four Zilla Parishads in Telangana region, where there is a hung situation.
Recent municipal and Zilla Parishad elections have changed the political equations and bookies are in favor of Chandra Babu Naidu as the first Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh (Seemandhra).
Describing as bogus and useless the former Congress MP Lagadapati Rajagopal’s exit poll survey in Seemandhra, YSR Congress party reiterated on Wednesday that it would undoubtedly get good majority in Seemandhra assembly and form the first Government.
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president Ponnala Laksmaiah seems to be already dreaming about becoming the Chief Minister of Telangana State.
BJP leader Narendra Modi continues to attract huge bets and has emerged as the top contender for the next prime minister.
Congress leader and former Congress MP Lagadapati Rajagopal is likely to quit politics. Today he arranged a press meet and revealed that BJP will form the government in center while TDP and TRS will win in Seemandhra and Telangana.
