Working with Prashant Kishor to fill vacuum in national politics: KCR


Hyderabad: TRS president and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has said efforts to fill what he called a vacuum in national politics are in the works.

Speaking to reporters, he said political strategist Prashant Kishor is working with him on bringing a ‘parivartan’ (change) in the entire country. Both are working together in Telangana also. Rao, who has been critical of the BJP in recent months, referred to the ‘Kashmir Files’ issue and accused the BJP of playing divisive politics.

Rao on Monday formally announced that he is working with Prashant Kishor ahead of the Assembly elections to be held next year.

Rao, popularly known as KCR, said that Kishor will be instrumental in bringing in a new direction of ‘parivartan’ in the country amid his renewed efforts at stitching together an ‘anti-BJP’ front to take on the Narendra Modi government at the Centre.
