New Delhi: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, who has been at the forefront of forging an united opposition against the BJP, said that he was working with political strategist Prashant Kishor on bringing a 'parivartan' (change) in the entire country.

At a media interaction on Monday, K Chandrasekhar Rao said said efforts to fill "a vacuum" in national politics was in the works, PTI reported.

Rao, who has been critical of the BJP in recent months, raked up the 'Kashmir Files' issue and accused the saffron party of playing divisive politics. 

"I have clearly said there is a void, there is a vacuum in the national politics. I am pursuing national politics now. I am doing my piece of job. I have to meet so many other friends who are playing a major role in this country's politics. We are trying to form an opinion. Thereafter, what happens, let's see," he was quoted by PTI in its report.

"How to fill up that gap, we will certainly make a decision. Maybe qualitative. Ultimately, it will prove quantitative also. I assure you, from 2024, India will pursue a new path of 'kranti' (revolution)," he said.

Rao, who has called Kishor his "best friend" for the last seven and a half years, commended the political strategist for his dedication to a cause.

"He (Kishor) is not a paid worker," Rao, widely known as KCR, said.

In response to the 'Kashmir Files' issue, KCR said that a progressive administration should address developmental challenges.

He cited the Kashmir Pundits in Delhi as having said that an attempt was on to cash in on their plight in the form of votes and that nothing has been done for them.

"They (alleged comments of Kashmir Pundits) are in social media. These type of attempts to promote animosities, divide the people is not correct," he said.

The movie, directed by Vivek Agnihotri and starring Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi and Mithun Chakraborty, is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir Valley in the 1990s.
