In an interesting development in Andhra Pradesh politics four months before the Assembly polls, former election campaign strategist Prashant Kishor flew into the state and met Telugu Desam Party President Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday. I-PAC has been working in collaboration with @YSRCParty since last year. Together, we're dedicated to working tirelessly until @ysjagan secures a thumping victory again in 2024 and continues his unwavering efforts to better the lives of the people of Andhra Pradesh.
This has sparked speculation of Mr Kishor advising the party, raising eyebrows because the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), founded by him, had played a role in the YSR Congress' stunning victory in the state in 2019 and has been hired by the party again for the 2024 elections.
In an indication of the importance of the meeting, Mr Kishor flew to Vijayawada from Hyderabad in a private plane with TDP General Secretary and Chandrababu Naidu's son Nara Lokesh and three other people. Among the three was a former I-PAC member, who quit the organisation to join political strategy firm ShowTime Consulting, founded by Robin Sharma, which is advising the TDP. I-PAC is led by Rishi Raj Singh in Andhra Pradesh.
