Election strategist Prashant Kishor held a marathon meeting with Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to discuss the possibility of the former’s Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) working with the TRS in the State till the Assembly elections, which are due next year.
Mr. Kishor arrived at Mr. Rao’s camp office for consultations on Saturday morning and stay put there overnight to continue the discussions until the latter left for his farmhouse on Sunday evening.
Sources said Mr. Kishor and Mr. Rao agreed it was left to the former if he wanted to join the Congress to play a role in dislodging the BJP at the national-level but the TRS will continue to work with I-PAC in extending services of surveys on public opinion about development and welfare programmes of the State government and impressing first-time voters. The IPAC was already said to have carried out surveys on the position of TRS and government in all Assembly constituencies and submitted reports to Mr. Rao.
