Andhra Politics - Congress ;TDP;PRP;TRS

Congress leader and Chief Minister of the state, YSR had been very confident till yesterday that Congress will win 230 out of 296 constituencies in the next elections and that Congress will be the ruling party for the next five year term also. He used to cite the various survey results conducted by his own party members to prove that his party will indeed win the next elections also. He firmly believed and said many a times with the media, the the developmental activities by their Government in this term is enough to get them back to power in the elections next year.

But people decided otherwise. The results of the ZPTC bi-elections in seven ZPTCs’ shocked the chief minister and his other ‘over-confident’ party members. Of the seven locations, Congress won three places while the opposition has taken away four places. This happened in spite of Praja Rajyam party staying away from the elections. These results brought the Congress party into reality.

Chief Minister lost the previous smile on his face and usual ‘230/296′ mantra he used to utter. He immediately decided to go to E. Godavari to discuss with the party leaders the reason for the defeat and to understand the real state of the party in the state. On the other hand, TDP which showed clear majority in these elections is busy celebrating its victory.
