BJP all set to exploit TRS, Congress situation in Telangana

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The BJP, which believes that it has emerged as the primary contender for power in Telangana, is gearing up to make the most of the confusion in the TRS and the Congress over the role of political strategist Prashant Kishor in the Congress and the role of IPAC, the political consultancy firm he started, in the TRS’ future plans. Even as speculation ran rife that it was just a matter of time before the TRS and the Congress joined hands, state BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar said that individually or together the two parties would not be able to stop the juggernaut that BJP in Telangana now is. He said Telangana Congress president A. Revanth Reddy found himself in a piquant situation after having campaigned that TRS and BJP were two sides of the same coin and that they would fight the elections together. Sanjay said the Chief Minister, “who has been spending sleepless nights ever since the BJP started the Praja Sangrama Yatra, held marathon deliberations with Kishor and sought his help to wriggle out of the cases haunting him and his family members.” Other BJP leaders believe that it is just a matter of time before the TRS and Congress are seen by the people as one. Either way, this uncertainty over Kishor's role in the Congress, and the I-PAC role with TRS, will benefit the BJP in Telangana," Premender Reddy said.
