Will Prashant Kishore work for KCR and Jagan after joining the Congress party? What will happen to the National alternative being planned by KCR as Prashant is going to do on his own.
KCR has openly admitted that PK has been engaged to help Telangana Rashtra Samithi in general and for National politics in particular.
So, if Prashant Kishor joins the Congress, it would be difficult for him to help KCR or Jagan, as he would be working for cross purposes.
For KCR, he would not be able to give the advice to help the TRS at the cost of Congress. Since PK will work on the overall strategy of securing over 400 seats for Congress in the Lok Sabha elections, he cannot help the TRS defeat Congress.
However, PK joining the Congress might not come in the way of helping Jagan, as the Congress doesn’t have much scope to win any seats in the state of Andhrapradesh.
Congress has better chances in Telangana when compared to Andhra Pradesh. But the BJP is also growing stronger in Telangana when compared to Andhra.
KCR has to face Congress, BJP, Sharmila, BSP and also TDP for its namesake in Telangana. But the MIM will support TRS and the minority vote will go to the TRS.
This makes all the difference for TRS to make a comeback with a slender margin.
