B'luru: HDK to hire strategist Prashant Kishor to reverse JD(S) fortunes in 2023 polls


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Feb 26: Former chief minister of Karnataka, H D Kumaraswamy, seems to have concluded that election strategist, Prashant Kishor, holds the cards which can help his party come up trumps by recovering from the unenviable situation it finds itself in now, in the next state assembly elections scheduled to be held in 2023.

It is learnt that Kumaraswamy already has held two rounds of discussions with Prashant Kishor. Kumaraswamy seems to have more faith in the modern-day strategist than the acumen of his father, H D Deve Gowda, who is the national president of the JD(S) and is treated by many as the grandsire of Indian politics, having succeeded in becoming chief minister of Karnataka by sidelining stalwarts like Ramakrishna Hegde and even becoming the Prime Minister once.

Kumaraswamy agreed that he indeed is in discussions with Prashant Kishor and that he has full faith in Prashant's abilities to brighten the party's fortunes in the next three years. He said that Prashant Kishor has agreed to help the party in preparing the election strategy. He also exuded confidence in his party, the JD(S) rising to power in the state on its own in 2023.

Prashant Kishor has risen to fame with his strategic advice on winning election to a few parties. JD(S) which most people regard as a family party, has never tried modern election strategies which Prashant Kishor is known for. Kumaraswamy was in power in spite of the fact that the Congress had more MLAs, till Yediyurappa turned the tables against the opposition by staging Operation Lotus in July last year.

It is said that Kumaraswamy and Deve Gowda agreed to change their old ways and acclimatize themselves to modern strategies as there is the question of survival of their party. Towards this end, the party has decided to consult Prashant Kishor to brighten its prospects. Prashant, it is gathered, will soon visit the city to take stock of the situation, even though no time frame has been fixed. As a first step towards lending buoyancy to the party, the senior leaders might give a new look to the party by giving strategic posts to young and dynamic leaders.

Prashant Kishor became famous due to his association with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, initially. Then he worked with Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav, the Congress and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Jaganmohan Reddy. He also worked with the Shiv Sena and Arvind Kejriwal. Now he is working for West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee. He is also scheduled to be associated with the DMK in Tamil Nadu shortly.

    Revival of regional party will only kil Congress further. In current time there is only 2 political movement in India. One is pro BJP and one is against. All anti BJP votes will split among congress and other regional parties. End result is, even if opposition comes to power anymore it willbe only Kichdi Govt which will not last long and the inside partners will fight for their place. Another 2 parliament elections if one party can come to power it will be only BJP, otherwise it will be Kichdi and Raitha.

    Apparently one of the strategies of Prashanth Kishore to JDS and Congress would be advising them to 'blame EVM after rout' so the candidates can contest again after 5 years.

    Good move, Prashant Kishore is brilliant, regional parties should gain and rule the state to defeat current unrest in the country. Its a requirement of time.

    At the end of the day , its the candidate 's capability that matters. Prashanth Kishore could not help RaGas fortunes in 2019 in Amethi .

    If HDK sits quiet, then there is better chance for Congress. Now he wants to split the vote and make easy chance for BJP. In fact if Prashant joins HDK , voters will lose confidence. I think it is better that Prashant must tell HDK to share the seats with Congress.
