Usually, heavy betting takes place during elections in Andhra Pradesh. But this time, a similar betting frenzy is being observed around the upcoming ZPTC by-election in the Pulivendula constituency.
The Pulivendula ZPTC by-election is scheduled for August 12, and the election campaign concluded on August 10. With polling set for tomorrow, recent newspaper reports suggest there is a lot of betting activity happening.
People are choosing their clear favorites in this race as both the Telugu Desam Party and YSR Congress have gone all out to secure this ZPTC seat. The situation has escalated to the point where Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu himself is taking the election very seriously and has instructed TDP workers to ensure victory.
Meanwhile, the latest reports indicate that TDP is the clear favorite, with betting odds as high as 1:2 being offered. This means people strongly believe TDP will win, so they are offering better returns to those betting on YCP. For example, if someone bets ₹1000 on YCP, they would win ₹2000. This reflects the comfortable position TDP holds in this election.
It is being reported that there is significant gambling activity surrounding the Pulivendula ZPTC election, and TDP is widely seen as the favorite.
Experts believe this election will be closely contested, but it is crucial for YSR Congress. Losing the YS family’s hometown seat of Pulivendula would be a major setback for Jagan and his supporters.
