Political strategist and founder of Indian Political Action Committee Prashant Kishor, who had worked out election strategies to several stalwarts like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress president Rahul Gandhi and Bihar chief minister NItish Kumar in the past, generally maintains utmost restraint to the criticisms hurled against him.
There was no occasion when he made any comments to counter the allegations or criticisms against him.
But for the first time on Tuesday, he opened his mouth and reacted strongly to Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who has made wild allegations against him.
It is an open secret that Prashant and his team have been working as political strategist for YSR Congress party.
Though he officially joined the Janata Dal (United) party headed by Nitish, he has been taking care of the last minute campaign strategies of Jagan, since as a professional, he has the task of bringing him to power by defeating Naidu in the assembly elections.
This has angered Naidu, who foul mouthed Prashant Kishor, alleging that he was behind removal of lakhs of votes of TDP supporters in AP.
While attacking Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao saying that he was doing criminal politics by intimidating Congress and TDP MLAs to join the TRS, he commented: “Bihari dacoit Prasant Kishore has removed lakhs of votes in Andhra Pradesh.”
Though Prashant generally does not react to such wild allegations, he thought of giving a retort to Naidu.
“An imminent defeat can rattle even the most seasoned politicians. So, I’m not surprised with the baseless utterances of @ncbn,” he tweeted.
He further commented: “Sirji, rather than using derogatory language that shows your prejudice and malice against Bihar, just focus on why people of AP should vote for you again.”
That is more than enough to rap Naidu who has been going all out against Jagan and his team!
