Prashant Kishore, who was Jaganmohan Reddy's political strategist a few years ago, has reacted to the offensive comments by Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu in Ongole. Speaking at a rally, the CM said, "K Chandrashekar Rao is doing criminal politics. He is grabbing the MLAs of Congress and TDP. The Bihari dacoit Prasant Kishore has removed lakhs of votes in AP."

The term 'Bihari dacoit' has not gone down well with Kishore. "An imminent defeat can rattle even the most seasoned politicians. So I’m not surprised with the baseless utterances of CBN. Sirji, rather than using derogatory language that shows your prejudice & malice against Bihar, just focus on why people of AP should vote for you again," he wrote on Twitter.

Kishore is currently with Nitish Kumar's JD(U).
