Assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh are still two and a half years away, but the state’s main opposition – the YSR Congress party is all set to engage political strategist Prashant Kishor to work out a plan to capture power in the 2019 elections.
Strategist-for-hire Kishor played a major role in designing the campaign strategies of Narendra Modi-led NDA in the 2014 general elections and Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) in Bihar a year later, before taking up the assignment to resurrect the Congress in UP and Punjab in the assembly polls next year.
Sources in YSR Congress said party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy has reached an agreement with Kishor.
“At present, Prashant is busy helping the Congress party in the forthcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh. Once he completes the UP mission, he, along with his team, will concentrate on Andhra Pradesh with a view to chalk out a political strategy for YSR Congress in the next assembly elections to be held in 2019,”a party source said.
Officially, however, the party leaders are tight-lipped about engaging Kishor’s services for the next elections.
When contacted, YSR Congress MP V Vijay Sai Reddy, who is a key advisor to Jagan, neither confirmed nor denied the report. “I don’t want to say anything right now but we will disclose our plans at an appropriate time,” Reddy told HT.He, however, said the party would take help of various agencies, including Prashant Kishor, to study the current political situation and work out how to benefit from it.
