It is said that Congress wants to take full advantage of PK's experience, strategic skills and art of election management, but does not want to give him the freedom that Prashant Kishor needs to implement his plan of action. Congress wants PK to join the party and work like other leaders with limited role and limited powers...
Expansion
All the speculations and reports of election strategist Prashant Kishor i.e. PK joining Congress finally came to an end. In fact, there was a lot of confusion about the role of PK in the Congress, so Prashant does not want to repeat the Uttar Pradesh experiment of 2017 at any cost. This is the point where the conversation between the two turned sour. But the talks between PK and Congress are broken, not friendship.
Giving information about this, Congress General Secretary and media in-charge Randeep Surjewala tweeted that Congress President Sonia Gandhi had proposed to join the party by forming an Empowered Action Group for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by making Prashant Kishor its member, but PK refused. refused. Prashant Kishor has also tweeted that the party needs leadership and collective will more than me to solve the deeply rooted organizational problems in the Congress through transformative reforms. In this way, the chances of PK to start his political innings once again by joining the Congress have been put to rest.
Joining was just a formality
In fact, for the past several days, after a long conversation of Prashant Kishor with the top leaders of the party, including Congress President Sonia Gandhi, former President Rahul Gandhi General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi, it seemed that Prashant's political innings in the Congress was going to start soon. Top Congress leaders also started believing that PK was coming to the party. Sonia Gandhi had given the message that the announcement of PK's coming to the Congress was just a formality by making all the big leaders talk directly to the PK.
It is said that Congress wants to take full advantage of PK's experience, strategic skills and art of election management, but does not want to give him the freedom that Prashant Kishor needs to implement his plan of action. Congress wants PK to join the party and work like other leaders with limited role and limited powers. Whereas Prashant is not ready to back down even an inch in terms of accepting any interference or change in his work. Some big leaders of the Congress were feeling very apprehensive and insecure about the PK experiment, while some openly came out in support of the PK.
Many leaders like G-23 leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad, Kapil Sibal, Manish Tewari, Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Shashi Tharoor also met PK. Many people also spoke to him by telephone. The statements of Congressmen also started coming in support and opposition of PK.
TRS is handling election management
In the meantime, PK's company Ipac is said to have started talks with regard to taking over the election management of TRS in Telangana and for this Prashant Kishor himself went to Hyderabad and met Chief Minister Chandrashekhar Rao. Questions arose about the intentions of PK in the media and within the Congress. But despite this, the Congress leadership announced the formation of a high-level Empowered Action Group, offering Prashant Kishor to become its member and join the Congress. But PK was not ready for it. He does not want to work tied up with any group of Congress leaders, because in the 2017 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, he has become Abhimanyu after being trapped in the maze of Congress leaders.
During the 2017 Uttar Pradesh elections, when PK's entire action plan was implemented in a very half-hearted manner, he was forced to form an alliance with the Samajwadi Party and the fate of the Congress after that left such a stain on the PK, which could not be washed away. It took them a long time. Therefore, this time Prashant Kishor had decided that either he should get full freedom to implement his action plan and there should be no interference from any leader in his work, only then he will join the Congress. While the Congress leadership was in a tizzy over this and the leaders opposed to PK's Congress entry were able to convince the party leadership that it would not be good for both the Congress and the leadership to give such leeway to PK or any one person. This will also affect the image of Rahul Gandhi and PK will become a new power centre. Therefore, finding a middle ground, he was offered to work in the party by becoming a member of the Empowered Action Group, which he refused to accept.
At present, the talks between PK and Congress have worsened, but the dialogue is not over. For the time being, Prashant Kishor will continue to be in the news by continuing his political mail meetings. After the results of the Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh assembly elections to be held later this year, it is possible that once again a new process of reconciliation between him and the Congress may start.
