The TDP is known for its unique approach to politics, often aiming for a global influence when it takes a stance.
In its recent move, the recruitment of Prashant Kishor as a strategist by the TDP is seen as a strategic maneuver for the party's upcoming campaign, according to sources in the yellow media.
As Prashant Kishore steps forward to counter Jagan, he is hailed as a brilliant mind by TDP supporters.
Some supporters even claim that Lokesh orchestrated Prashant Kishor's appointment as a strategist.
Although Lokesh has faced criticism from opponents for an extended period, recent revelations from the Yellow Media suggest that he plays a crucial strategic role.
Insiders reveal that convincing Prashant Kishor to shift his allegiance from the YSRCP and devise election strategies for the TDP is no small feat, portraying Lokesh as a formidable figure.
Comments from TDP youth asserting that Lokesh successfully brokered a deal with Prashant Kishor without arousing suspicion from the YCP highlight the young leader's leadership skills.
Notably, Chandrababu initially opposed the involvement of strategists in politics, questioning who the political Chanakya is beyond him.
Although initially disinterested in Lokesh's proposal to bring Prashant Kishore into the TDP fold, Chandrababu eventually recognized the importance of countering Jagan and endorsed Prashant Kishor's appointment after careful consideration.
However, the extent to which Prashant Kishor's appointment guarantees victory is a matter of speculation. If the TDP wins, it will be a triumph for the yellow brigade.
On the other hand, if the TDP loses and the YSRCP emerges victorious, Lokesh's decision to bring in Prashant Kishore may face criticism, and the yellow media might even brand Prashant Kishor as a covert YSRCP agent who allegedly sabotaged the prospects of the TDP with misleading strategies.
