More than 60 professionals from I-PAC (Indian Political Action Committee) are working on the ground in Munugode for the Telangana Rashtra Samithi
Its founder Prashant Kishor has moved on to a fulltime political career in Bihar, but I-PAC, the political strategy firm he quit last year, continues to work with Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao's party TRS. Putting speculation to rest, the firm has clarified that it is in "full action" at Munugode where a fiercely fought assembly bypoll will take place on November 3.
Speculation about the IPAC-TRS coordination started soon after the Chief Minister KCR announced plans for the party to go national, renaming it Bharat Rashtra Samithi on October 5 — new name approval pending from the Election Commission. KCR has also stood with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Mr Kishor's rival in his home state.
More than 60 professionals from I-PAC (Indian Political Action Committee) are working on the ground in Munugode for the TRS, the firm's officials have said. A special communications team for the constituency has been set up in Hyderabad monitors the media, including social networking platforms.
The TRS has over 80 area in-charges for grassroots outreach in the segment. They are being provided with "all kinds of intelligence and possible resolutions for prompt and effective actions" by I-PAC. The company shares "leader monitoring and analysis report" daily with the party.
