Who is Prashant Kishor?
Prashant Kishor who has made a mark with his successful campaigns across India has been instrumental in Narendra Modi’s 2014 victory, DMK’s success in 2019 and Mamata Banerjee’s win in 2021. His expertise in data-driven electoral strategies, grassroots mobilization and political branding would come very handy for TVK. He has already analyzed Tamil Nadu’s political landscape, possible alliances and TVK’s internal structure.
Prashant Kishor’s Role in TVK:
His association with TVK suggests a well thought out effort to challenge the Dravidian giants of DMK and AIADMK in Tamil Nadu. With combined weapons like Vijay’s popularity and Kishor’s strategic prowess at work, TVK is seeking a spot as a serious contestant in the 2026 elections. Big question remains – Will this alliance change the political landscape in Tamil Nadu?
