Election strategist Prashant Kishor may soon join hands with Congress. Most of the party leaders are in favor of including him in the party. The committee constituted to study the action plan for his assembly and Lok Sabha elections strategy has submitted its report to the party president. While agreeing to include him in the report, party leaders said he would have to distance himself from other political parties.
A senior party leader said that Prashant Kishor is working with several political parties. These include Trinamool Congress and Telangana Rashtra Samithi. We want him to separate himself from other parties and work solely for the Congress. Party President Sonia Gandhi can make a formal announcement soon. His role within the party will be decided after discussions with the Congress President and Rahul Gandhi.

Prashant has also made some demands on his behalf. He wants a free hand to implement his plan of action. A party leader said Prashant only wanted to report to the Congress president. Along with this, he also wants the necessary powers to implement the strategy in the electoral states. The final decision will be taken keeping all these factors in mind.
