I chatted with folks who are from the artillery brigade. Folks who take time off in Bhagyanagaram every year. FYI, I'm not expert. Just relaying my chaiwalla conversation.

Jagan: 22% SC (and ST) + 7% Reddy + 5-11% Muslims (depending on each district). He has formidable demographic advantage which would sweep the region.

Jagan is a major player just due to the demographics. If the data is right, then it will be tough fight for SA between TDP and YSRCP. Even the surveys point to lead with Jagan.
