Visakhapatnam, May 12, 2014: Its not just, workers and
leaders of political parties, but punters too keenly watched the results of the
municipal polls, all day and jumped into action to encash the situation
literally, by raising the stakes of betting ‘business’ from afternoon onwards, as the
trend was clear by then.
With TD, bagging maximum civic bodies in coastal Andhra and
Rayalaseema regions, betting organizers were busy luring prospective
enthusiasts to place bets in the city on the possible outcome of the assembly
and lok sabha poll results basing on the results of the civic polls that were
held in March. The betting organiers
have also set a deadline of 5 in the evening to place the bets.
While the TD was the hot favourite of the day, YSRC have not
lost the sheen. There was heavy betting on YSRC too, stating that, municipal
and assembly polls are fought on entirely different issues and planks and the
party still enjoys the clout in rural belt.
With the swing towards TD in towns was clear with the
municipal poll results, there was heavy betting on the winning chances of YSRC,
honorary president, YS Vijayalakshmi who fought with BJP state unit, Chief
Kambhampati Haribabu, for Vizag Lok Sabha seat.
Haribabu was in fray with TD support banking on the ‘Modi
wave’ among urban voters. Organisers offered 1: 3 in favour of Vijayalaskshmi.
If Vijayalakshmi wins, those who placed bets on her would get three times more.
But, some enthusiasts are still waiting for the results of ZPTC and MPTC polls
that actually reflect the clout and influence of the parties in the rural
tracts, which are deciding factors of assembly polls.
