Confident YSR off to cool climes

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister (CM) YS Rajashekhar Reddy is on a holiday. After a long and gruelling campaign for the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, he came to New Delhi after polling ended in his state on April 30 and has since proceeded to Shimla. However, he did not lose the opportunity to meet party leaders in New Delhi and tell them that he was confident that the Congress would win more than 30 seats. He had a powerful advocate in New Delhi — Congress General Secretary Veerappa Moily, who thinks the party will get 29 out of 42 seats in the state. If the temperature in Shimla is cool, blazing New Delhi will be like a cold shower for the CM when he returns to confront the reality.
