Election strategist Prashant Kishor (PK) today conducted another round of ‘job interviews’ at Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s Delhi residence. Three rounds of meeting have been held, now the report will come in three days and it will be decided what decision the Congress takes on the proposal of Prashant Kishor? Besides the team that evaluated his proposal, there were two other Congress party leaders, including Ashok Gehlot and Bhupesh Baghel. Congress sources have said that a report on the matter is expected within 72 hours. The meeting was attended by Prashant Kishor along with senior Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh, Ambika Soni, KC Venugopal and Sonia Gandhi.
After the meeting, party spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said that the party is ‘evaluating’ the proposals of Prashant Kishor. “Inputs of several others are also being considered and the final report will be submitted to the Congress President within the next 72 hours,” he added.
Earlier most of the Congress leaders had rejected Prashant Kishor’s proposals saying that it was only a one-time proposal for Gujarat. Later, Kishor’s organization IPAC said it included a rejuvenation of the Congress and a strategy for the 2024 general elections. There is also the question of Kishor’s entry into the party – for which talks were held last year.
what is the power of pk
Prashant Kishor is considered a well-known political mathematician and analyst of the country. Congress leaders believe that Kishor’s strength is data analysis and it is necessary to have a PK for the benefit of the party. However, Prashant Kishor’s entry on the other hand is also being seen as an added burden for the Gandhi family, who are already facing discontent from a section of the party leadership. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, considered a loyalist of the Gandhi family, said, “We have also used others and we will have to see what needs to be done?”
