Krishna Allavaru is the trusted lieutenant of Rahul Gandhi and was appointed as the Congress in-charge for the Bihar Assembly elections. Despite the high expectations, the party managed to win only 6 out of the 61 seats it contested, and the responsibility is being widely attributed to Krishna, who was reportedly given a free rein by Rahul Gandhi.
Not much is publicly known about this Telugu strategist. He keeps a very low profile and has a background working with top consultants like KPMG. He entered politics in 2010, leaving the corporate world behind, and has since risen through the ranks. Currently, he serves as Joint Secretary of the Congress, but the Bihar elections marked the first time he was entrusted with overseeing a State poll.
Krishna is also believed to be the brain behind Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Vote Chori’ yatra. Under his leadership, the Congress notably refused to compromise with the Lal Yadav family on seat-sharing — a first in the party’s history. Known for being hard-working and committed, he was appointed Bihar in-charge in February 2025.
However, critics argue that his lack of local knowledge and political experience may have contributed to the poor results. “He had absolutely no understanding of Bihar. How could he grasp the complexities of the State in just six months? He has never contested an election before and appointed candidates unsuitable for their constituencies,” said a Congress MP from Bihar.
Whether Rahul Gandhi will continue to support Krishna or hold him accountable for the Bihar debacle remains to be seen. Only time will tell.
