“In Talks With Prashant Kishor To Bring National Change”: KCR

Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, on Monday announced that he is in talks with political strategist Prashant Kishor for bringing a ‘national change.’ He said that political strategist Prashant is working with him and asks who can have a problem with this.

Addressing a news conference at Hyderabad, he said, “I am in talks with Prashant Kishor to bring a national change. Prashant Kishor is working with me on this. Who can have a problem with this? Why are they seeing him as a bomb? Why are they crying?”

Denouncing the news that he had signed a ₹ 300-crore contract with Kishor, KCR said, “Prashant Kishor is my best friend for the last 7-8 years. He has never worked for money. He is not a paid worker. I am sorry you don’t understand his commitment to the country.”

For months now, KCR has been attacking on PM Modi and the Centre. Last month, when the Prime Minister visited Hyderabad for the launch of a statue of Saint Ramanujacharya, citing health reasons, KCR skipped meeting PM Modi.

Days before that he had roasted PM Modi for his dressing styles. He said, “If it is election time, he has to grow a beard and appear like Rabindranath Tagore. Arrey baap re. If it is Tamil Nadu, he must wear a lungi (sic), what is this? What does the country get with these kinds of gimmicks? If it is the Punjab election, he will wear a pagdi (turban). In Manipur, it will be a Manipuri cap, in Uttarakhand, it will be another topi (cap), how many caps like this?” he told reporters.

KCR is trying to create a front along with other opposition parties against BJP.

According to NDTV sources, Prashant Kishor’s political consultancy team I-PAC has started their groundwork for KCR for the assembly polls to be held in December next year. As per their sources, the two have signed a formal contract.

Prashant Kishor is credited with successfully handling the campaign of MK Stalin-led DMK in Tamil Nadu and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in Andhra Pradesh, besides that of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in last year’s elections versus the unmitigated might of the BJP.
