What's behind this

Counting of votes in Andhra Pradesh’s civic polls is in progress across 92 urban local bodies, with the process split into ten zones that are being held at different locations on the Andhra University campus. Heavy rains have delayed counting in the Bapatla and Prakasam districts. Around 5,000 personnel are deployed for counting duties, and officials opened the strong rooms at 6 am in the presence of candidates and election agents. Candidates and party leaders are meeting supporters, reviewing prospects and some are visiting temples to offer prayers, while authorities have made elaborate arrangements at the venue. The TDP is reported to lead in eight GVMC wards.
