Poll strategist Prashant Kishore is on a recruitment spree. He has reportedly launched a massive interns enrollment campaign. Already, he has 12.43 lakh interns of which some 10.50 lakh are nearing the completion of their internship. Some 2.82 lakh interns are actively working for IPac, which PK runs.
The focus now is on recruitment in Telangana. The Team PK has given online advertisements asking youth between 18-45 years to apply. The only qualifications asked are interest in politics and the candidate should have a mobile phone. The selected candidates would be training in talking to the voters, understanding their pulse and the ability to conduct surveys. The interns would also be taught about the political history of the states and constituencies to make them comprehend the political undercurrents.
PK is doing this under his "youth in politics" initiative. Sources say that a massive recruitment is on in Telangana. The Team PK has entered into an agreement with the TRS and has held a couple of meetings with KCR and KTR. They are now advising the TRS on how to go about for the next assembly elections.
The interns in Telangana are going to work for the TRS. They are said to be conducting surveys in rural Telangana to understand the pulse of the voters. They would also give an assessment of the performance of the party's MLAs. This report would form the basis for KCR's choice of MLA candidates, sources say.
