Looks like the elections season is going to drag everyone connected with politics and political parties. The newbie who has now entered the league is Jagan’s political strategist and advisor Prashant Kishor and his organization Indian Political Action Committee which is working for YSR Congress party in Andhra Pradesh.
AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in a new attack targeted YSR Congress party and its chief Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy for unnecessarily creating disharmony in the state in the name of caste and dividing people. “Prashant Kishor who is a consultant to Jagan, is turning Andhra Pradesh into another Bihar,” he said, adding that Kishor’s political strategies for Jagan are ruining the state.
In the same breath, Chandrababu also criticised Telangana Rashtra Samithi’s interference in AP elections and said that his counterpart K. Chandrasekhar Rao and his son KT Rama Rao’s plans along with YSRCP’s will not work in Andhra Pradesh. “They have been working with the BJP and trying to corner TDP in every possible way. Their evil designs may have worked in Telangana. But people of AP will not trust these people,” he added.
It is a well-known fact that Prashant Kishor was on Modi’s A-team for boosting Narendra Modi as a Prime Ministerial candidate. His organisation I-PAC has worked in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. His major achievements include Modi’s win as the PM and Nitish Kumar’s win in Bihar. Now, the organisation is helping Jagan in implementing its political strategies and campaigns for the state of Andhra Pradesh. Currently, Prashant Kishor is the vice-president of Janata Dal (United), appointed by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar.
