Political strategist and director of the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), Rishi Raj Singh, who worked tirelessly for the YSRCP headed by CM Jagan in the recently concluded assembly and Lok Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh, may continue to support the party for a long time to come.
During a thanksgiving meeting held with I-PAC team members a couple of days ago, Jagan praised Rishi and his team, declaring that his party would continue its association with them in the coming years as well.
Apparently, Jagan was very impressed with the campaign strategies of Rishi Raj Singh and his team, particularly the “Siddham” campaign, which evoked a tremendous response from the people. It is believed that Jagan’s popularity increased significantly after the Siddham campaign.
Sources said that regardless of whether the YSRCP wins the elections or not, Jagan has decided to continue working with Rishi Raj Singh and his team in the years to come.
“He is not going to blame Rishi if he loses the elections. Such is the trust he has in that team,” sources said.
In a recent interview with a national media outlet, Rishi said he was working in Andhra Pradesh not because of I-PAC or any other agency, but because of Jagan Mohan Reddy’s trust in him and his team.
“It is about trust, and the value we add,” he said.
He pointed out that Jagan was not concerned whether Prashant Kishor had left I-PAC or someone else was heading it.
“He was impressed with us because we kept delivering results and adding value. The brand value of I-PAC will never diminish,” Rishi Raj Singh said.
He claimed that I-PAC was strategizing for Jagan Mohan Reddy and that he would achieve a historic victory. At the same time, he gave all the credit to Jagan, not I-PAC.
“He is winning not because I-PAC is working for him. He will come out with flying colors because of his delivery and good governance,” Rishi said.
