Betting already begins in AP over Telangana elections
Sources say that the people are hedging their bets over the likely number of seats that the parties would win in each of the districts in Telangana.
There is unusual interest in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh over the elections to the assembly in the Telangana state. The punters and the betting rings have gone into hyperactive mode over the likely result in the state. The people are betting big time even before the nominations are filed.
Most interesting question is about KCR becoming the CM again and about the BRS getting at least 60 seats in the elections. The people are betting money on these questions. Several people have reportedly took huge loans to bet on these questions. The betting rings have been attracting the punters in a big way.
Sources say that the people are hedging their bets over the likely number of seats that the parties would win in each of the districts in Telangana. What is interesting is the fact that the people are also betting their money on the number of seats that the BJP, the third party in the race, would get.
Sources also say that unusually this time, there is heavy betting in Karnataka too. The people are betting on the six promises given by the Congress party. The Telugus in Maharashtra too are said to be betting on various political developments.
