Hyderabad: Election strategist Prashant Kishor and noted film actor Prakash Raj met TRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao on Saturday. The meeting comes just a week after the Chief Minister’s apparently successful visit to Mumbai to get the support of Maharashtra parties for his proposed national front.
Kishor, who is credited with plotting the victory of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, is reported to have discussed several issues including Chandrashekar Rao’s entry into national politics, the remarks made by Rao against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP government, with the Chief Minister.
The meeting took place at Chandrashekar Rao’s farmhouse in Erravelli.
Kishor has been in Telangana for the last two days, gathering first-hand information on the political situation in the state, it was stated. Prakash Raj was a sudden addition to the Chief Minister’s retinue when he visited Mumbai.
Later, Kishor and Prakash Raj visited Mallannasagar on Saturday, reportedly on the advise of the Chief Minister. The reservoir, one of the biggest on the Godavari, was dedicated to the nation by Rao last week.
