NEW DELHI: Election strategist Prashant Kishor is learnt to be in talks with the Congress leadership for joining the party. This may be his second innings as a political leader after his brief membership of JD (U).
Sources said the party leadership is open to the idea of Kishor becoming a card carrying Congress leader.
The indications came a day after Kishor met Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for discussions at Rahul’s residence. The meeting was also joined by Congress chief Sonia Gandhi via a video link.
While Kishor’s possible role and post that are being discussed are not known, sources said that if he finally becomes a Congress leader, it is more likely to be as a strategist to chart party’s revival in states as well as its branding as a national alternative. Kishor already has a good equation with many Congress regional satraps after having managed their elections.
