Telangana Chief Minister (CM) K Chandrashekar Rao said on Monday, 21 March, that he was in talks with political strategist Prashant Kishor to initiate a "national change" in the country, news agency PTI reported.

"I am in talks with Prashant Kishor to bring a national change. Prashant Kishor is working with me on this. Who can have a problem with this? Why are they seeing him as a bomb? Why are they crying?" the CM said while addressing a press conference in Hyderabad.

Rao also rejected allegations that he had signed a Rs 300 crore contract with Kishor, and called the latter his "best friend."

"Prashant Kishor is my best friend for the last seven to eight years. He has never worked for money. He is not a paid worker. I am sorry you don't understand his commitment to the country," he said.
