The Telangana Congress party has strongly hit back at popular political strategist and Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor who challenged that he would not allow Revanth Reddy to come back to power in 2029 elections in the state.
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee’s media and communication wing chairman Sama Ram Mohan Reddy described Prashant Kishor as a “political thief” whose words carry no substance.
“Prashant Kishor is like a prepaid recharge — you only get as much talk-time as you pay for, nothing more,” Reddy remarked sarcastically.
He alleged that Kishor had never once in his 50 years spoken for even 15 minutes about the welfare of the people of Bihar.
“He has done nothing for Bihar. He only talks in favour of other leaders, like a paid talk-time service. Such a person need not be taken seriously,” Reddy said.
The Congress leader further stated that Kishor made millions as an election strategist but could not ensure victory for any political party.
Reddy strongly criticized Kishor for his comments on the chief minister. “Prashant Kishor has no standing to speak about Revanth Reddy,” he asserted.
“Revanth Reddy comes from a humble farming family with no political background. With the blessings and trust of the people, he rose to become chief minister. He is providing a model of people-centric governance that is earning national attention. The entire country is now looking towards Telangana,” he added.
Reddy praised the chief minister’s courage and connection with the people.
“Revanth Reddy’s strength lies in the people of Telangana. He governs by staying among them. Even Bihari residents living in Telangana will say the same. He makes no regional or cultural distinctions — he treats everyone equally and with compassion,” Reddy said.
Calling him “a leader who keeps people close to his heart,” Reddy dismissed Kishor’s remarks as laughable.
“It’s a big joke that a political prepaid recharge like Prashant Kishor is talking about the People’s Chief Minister Revanth Reddy,” he said.
