YSRCP slams PK over ‘Jagan will lose big’ prediction

The ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) in Andhra Pradesh has dismissed the prediction of political strategist Prashant Kishor that the party is going suffer huge losses in the ensuing Assembly elections.

The ruling party said that he is now a politician and not a strategist. The YSRCP leaders mentioned that Prashant Kishor’s prediction had proved wrong in Telangana, Himachal Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

Speaking at a programme in Hyderabad on Sunday, Prashant Kishor, who had played a key role in YSRCP’s massive victory in 2019, predicted that it is going to lose big in the ensuing polls.

YSRCP parliamentary party leader V. Vijayasai Reddy, however, said Prashant Kishor was speaking without logical data. “Do not rely on Prashant Kishor’s ‘gut’ who is speaking without logical data after meeting Chandrababu Naidu for four hours,” the Rajya Sabha member posted on ‘X’.

“His ‘gut’ has also no relevance in present-day contemporary politics. AP Govt.’s welfare schemes were a savior of crores of people during COVID and provided a wide safety net to our people,” said Vijayasai Reddy.
