Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) started counting day with a bang, with early projected leads that seemed to give him the party as many as six seats. But the vote share arithmetic now appears to give the PRP just two seats, including Chiranjeevi’s own constituency of Tirupathi.

12aac7ea-41f1-11de-9d3c-000b5dabf636.flvThe votes he did get, however, played into the hands of the Congress, cutting down the share of the anti-incumbent votes that parties like the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) might otherwise have bagged.

To form the state government, the Congress is likely to reach out to independents as well as the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimmen (AIMIM).
