Telangana Rashtra Samithi working president and state IT minister K T Rama Rao on Tuesday said the Congress was dead and no one including election strategist Prashant Kishor can rescue the grand old party.
Reacting to the reports that Prashant Kishor declined the offer made by the AICC, Rama Rao reminded that the TRS signed up with Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) but not with Prashant Kishor.
The TRS working president stated that they had a long association with Prashant Kishor who now wants to pursue his political ambitions.
“But even he cannot help the Congress revive itself. The party is tried, tested and dusted,” he said, in an interview to a media house.
KTR said the failures of the Congress were the strength of the BJP. On Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Telangana next week, he advised the Congress MP to first register a win in his native Amethi constituency before coming to Telangana to revive the party.
Rahul Gandhi had also not raised any issue pertaining to Telangana in Parliament in all these eight years.
He said neither Congress nor BJP could provide basic facilities like food, water, power and other essentials to the people of this country. There are always detractors who doubted KCR’s capability to achieve Telangana State, but he proved them wrong. He will also prove those who are doubting whether he would make a difference in national politics.
