Cong gains edge in second phase?

Going by the initial trends available from the constituencies that went to polls on Thursday, the ruling Congress seems to have gained clear edge over its rivals.

According to reports reaching the state headquarters, the Congress is likely to get not less than 35 assembly seats out of 56 seats in Rayalaseema; and at least another 40 seats out of 84 assembly seats in coastal Andhra in the second phase; which means, the Congress would get not less than 75 seats in the second phase. Assuming that it would get at least 50 seats in the first phase, the Congress is definitely going to emerge as the single largest party in the assembly.

If these predictions are true, the Congress would need only another 25 seats to form the government. And those who know the political maneuvering of Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, it is not difficult for him to mobilize the support of these 25 people.
