Hyderabad: While the discussions between Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and election strategist Prashant Kishor continued here for a second consecutive day, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leader KT Rama Rao on Sunday confirmed that Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) is working for TRS officially. However, he clarified that the TRS is just working with the I-PAC and not with Prashant Kishor.

"Prashant Kishor has introduced I-PAC to the TRS party and I-PAC is working for us officially. We are not working with Prashant Kishor but we are working with I-PAC," said KTR. TRS working president KTR further said that Chief Minister Rao is running TRS for the last two decades but the party doesn't want to miss the digital medium and that's why IPAC is going to help the TRS party in coming polls.

"KCR is running TRS for the last two decades. We don't want to miss digital medium and that's why IPAC is going to help TRS party in coming polls," he added. KTR further said "Prashant Kishor has disassociated himself from I-PAC and he is doing his own politics. IPAC will be working for us." This comes amid speculations about poll strategist Prashant Kishor joining the Congress.

Prashant Kishor, who airdashed to Hyderabad on Saturday, had a night halt at Pragati Bhavan, the official residence of the chief minister after day-long discussions. KCR on Sunday resumed discussion with Prashant Kishor on the strategy for next year's Assembly elections in Telangana and his plans for a national alternative at the Centre.
