The deal between Congress and Prashant Kishor could not be finalised. Various discussions are taking place regarding this. It is also being said that Rahul Gandhi had predicted on the very first day that Prashant Kishor would not join the Congress. Many Congress leaders felt that the election strategists wanted to use the Congress like other parties. A party source has given this information.
Prashant Kishor i.e. PK was offered the responsibility of election management in the Congress Committee two days ago, although he turned down the offer on Tuesday. According to a report in NDTV, senior leader P Chidambaram, who was part of the group reviewing Prashant Kishor’s Congress revival plan, said, “PK was offered to join the Congress a day before yesterday. He refused it.” We don’t know why they did this.”
PK’s talk with Congress was happening for the 8th time
Sources said that PK wanted to be either the political secretary to the Congress president or the vice-president. Sources said, “Rahul Gandhi had said on the very first day that PK would not join the Congress. This is not the first time that he was being given a place in the party.” Some even said that this was the eighth time PK had negotiated to join the Congress.
Many Congress leaders were wary of PK
Sources said that PK is looking for Congress leaders and demanded a meeting to make their presentation on the roadmap to revive the old party. Rahul Gandhi did not show much interest in the proposals of PK. He then reportedly insisted on meeting Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. “Various Congress leaders in the committee considered his proposals seriously, but were wary of PK. Two chief ministers were also asked to discuss with him,” he said.
Many in the group that assessed PK’s proposals felt that he was not credible and planned to use the Congress platform while continuing to work with other parties.
Priyanka didn’t even have full faith
Sources said Rahul Gandhi’s alleged isolation was in contrast to Priyanka Gandhi’s presence in every meeting, but it was not enough. Congress President Sonia Gandhi was also present during this. Even Priyanka Gandhi was not entirely convinced, given the party’s history with PK in the 2017 Uttar Pradesh election.
Sources say that Prashant Kishor was not ready for the membership of a committee. Prashant Kishor, who has been in direct contact with people like Narendra Modi, Nitish Kumar and Amarinder Singh, wanted direct access to Sonia Gandhi and a free hand to implement his plans for India’s oldest party.
