Telangana Congress leaders have termed former election strategist and Jan Suraaj Party president Prashant Kishor as a failed politician, who is trying to look for publicity by criticising Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy.
Congress leaders, including MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy, TPCC general secretary Chanagani Dayakar and TPCC Media Cell chairman Sama Rammohan Reddy, said it was laughable that Mr. Prashant Kishor was trying to gain sympathy among Bihar voters and this was just laughable.
Mr. Prashant Kishor recently reignited controversy by attacking Chief Minister Revanth Reddy alleging that the latter had ‘insulted’ the people of Bihar. Mr. Kishor referred to remarks made by Mr. Revanth Reddy in 2023, who targeted the then Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, saying that Mr. Chandrashekar Rao had ‘Bihar’s DNA’ and not from Telangana.
Mr. Kishor claimed Mr. Revanth Reddy’s statement mocked Biharis and questioned why the Chief Minister had sought his assistance for election strategies in the past. He asserted that he would defeat Mr. Revanth this time to prove his own political strength.
Congress leaders advised Mr. Prashant Kishor to focus on impressing upon Bihar voters through positive politics and stop dreaming of defeating Congress in Telangana. They said Mr. Kishor will never understand Telangana’s political ethos.
