Sign up Prashant Kishor or not? Congress top brass to decide today

New Delhi/IBNS: The Congress top brass with its president Sonia Gandhi is likely to take a final decision on whether it will import election strategist Prashant Kishor and his suggestions in the mission to rejuvenate itself in the run up to the 2024 General Elections.

Besides Gandhi, the top brass comprises party veterans P Chidambaram, KC Venugopal, Mukul Wasnik, Jairam Ramesh, Ambika Soni, Digvijaya Singh and Randeep Singh Surjewala.

Congress general secretary and Sonia Gandhi's daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and senior leader AK Anthony are also likely to be present in the meeting.

Earlier, Kishor in a number of meetings with the Congress top brass presented the ways the grand old party, whose footprint in the political map has sharply declined, can be rejuvenated.

However, a section of Congress leaders have reservations on Kishor's inductions considering his past outings with other rival parties as a strategist.

Adding fuel to their reservations, Kishor has stayed with Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, a Congress rival, for two days over the weekend as political consultant I-PAC is set to strike a deal with the Telangana Rashtriya Samithi for the 2023 state polls.

According to media reports, Kishor had suggested the Congress forge tie-ups with regional forces including West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and TRS.

The Congress started considering signing up Kishor freshly after the party was decimated in its bastion Punjab by the regional Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), getting its tally of state governments to two.
