Prashant Kishor's First Tweet After Rejecting Sonia Gandhi's Offer: 'Congress Needs Leadership'

Poll strategist Prashant Kishor will not join the Congress, party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala announced on Twitter. This comes amid strong buzz around the strategist joining the party that is desperate to return to power in 2024.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Poll Strategist tweeted 'I declined the generous offer of #congress to join the party as part of the EAG & take responsibility for the elections. In my humble opinion, more than me, the party needs leadership and collective will to fix the deep-rooted structural problems through transformational reforms,” Kishor said in a tweet, minutes after Surjewala’s announcement.

Prashant Kishor met the party leadership, including interim chief Sonia Gandhi, earlier this month and presented a blueprint for the 2024 elections, sparking rumours that the master strategist will join the party as a leader to steer it out of the string of election debacles.

Sonia Gandhi, following the meeting with Kishor, set up an eight-member panel to study his recommendations and prepare a report, following which an “Empowered Action Group-2024” was formed to address the political challenges and discuss an organizational overhaul.

Prashant Kishor, during his association with I-PAC, had crafted poll campaigns for the Congress in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.

Prashant Kishore Should Charge 50 Crores for His Presentation to the Congress.

[srinivassaidapur]

Congress is right in its dealings with prashant.

[m.s.sridhar]

I am a congress member, good decision on Prasanth kishore, right time to make Sachin pilot the aicc president, considering the ground reality sonia, Rahul, and priyanka should take a wise decision, i am a teacher, election agent for our party in two parliamentary elections and a member since 29 years

[shankerlal]

P K has realized that he cannot give life to the congress party which is already dead. Eg recent elections in Assam municipal elections bjp swept and Congress couldn't open the account

[banditonehundred]

They probably wanted him to become a puppet.

[purushottampunamchand]

सही फैसला किया वरना वो अपनी बची हुई शाख भी गंवा देता

[kalyanidivakar]

Giving more importance for business deal oriented elections by all media because businesses are more important than development of whole country. Elections means controling businesses

[josephdan]

Remove surjewala ...
People with no connection with baselevel workers cannot save the party

[pbrk]

Of course, it is wise for Prashant Kishore to wisely opt out of the Congress post or joining the Congress, which has prevented him from doing the job he has been doing so far, that is, the job he has been planning for many parties as an election analyst.

[leslielocker]

Congress is a Party of Committees ... Committees & Committees with no Action 😭😭😭

[asutoshswain]

PK is not a solution to the political problem n issues facing the rather he is another problem

[madeti]

What is the status of Peagasus - Mamata - Chandrababu - Prashant Kishore? Why all r silent? Reached some mutual agreement or negotiation or conscience

[balasubramaniansundaram]

This guy PK is thinking too much of himself and needs to be shown his proper place.

[manuelvincent]

Luckily Prasanth Kishore escaped from the sinking ship.Congress leaders are taking steps to finish the party infighting is terrible. Resurrection of the party is impossible. Everyone is big there in talk but not in action.

[vijayrajeswarraoparsa]

PK wants to grab most powerful seat by his Simple Political manipulation without honestly thinking about the common man or serving them for a single day. A voter is not a fool nor God is big fool. PK's greed has no limits. He wants Congress give him total power to Handle matters.

[josephdan]

Sign a consultancy contract with him for professional service

[ravichandransubramaniam]

PK as a Indian Citizen should think what is good for India. 2 Strong national party at the centre. Not One national party and one regional party coilation. He had earned lot of money in the interest of nation he should join Congress and should quit party time election analysis job and whole heartedly join Congress.

[thandavanvaidyanathan]

Now, after Congress debacle, PK joining CPIM to make peenam Naaree vijayan as PM in 2024, as source close to party reported off the record

[soundraveluk]

KCR stands strong no question of defeating
