New Delhi: Election strategist Prashant Kishor’s Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) is officially working for the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), party’s working president K.T. Rama Rao confirmed on Sunday.
KTR, the son of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, however, clarified the TRS is just working with the I-PAC and not with the poll strategist.
“Prashant Kishor has introduced I-PAC to the TRS party and I-PAC is working for us officially. We are not working with Prashant Kishor but we are working with I-PAC,” ANI quoted KTR as saying.
KTR, who is Telangana’s Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development, Industries and Commerce, and Information Technology, further said the Chief Minister is running the TRS for the last two decades but the party doesn’t want to miss the digital medium.
He emphasized that is why the I-PAC is going to help the TRS in the coming elections.
“KCR is running TRS for the last two decades. We don’t want to miss digital medium and that’s why I-PAC is going to help TRS party in coming polls,” KTR said.
“Prashant Kishor has disassociated himself from I-PAC and he is doing his own politics. IPAC will be working for us,” he added.
The remarks come as discussions between the Telangana Chief Minister and the election strategist continued in Hyderabad for the second consecutive day on Sunday.
Kishor is understood to have shared with KCR, as the Telangana TRS chief is popularly known, the result of the survey done by his team in Telangana’s 89 assembly constituencies, IANS reported.
The poll strategist had already given a report to the TRS president on the survey done in 30 constituencies, the report added.
The Chief Minister’s discussions with Kishor assume significance in view of the election strategist’s recent series of meetings with the top Congress leadership in the national capital and his reported plans to join the grand old party.
