“Something Bigger”: Gandhis Met Prashant Kishor For 2024 Strategy, Says Report

The meeting, according to the sources, was not about the Punjab or Uttar Pradesh polls as speculated, but about “something bigger”.

According to a report by NDTV, poll strategist Prashant Kishor met Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday, reportedly on “something bigger” than upcoming state polls and with the 2024 national election in sight.

Initially, it was reported that Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi met Mr Kishor at Mr Gandhi’s home in Delhi. However, sources said Sonia Gandhi also joined the discussion via a virtual link.

The meeting, according to the sources, was not about the Punjab or Uttar Pradesh polls as speculated, but about “something bigger”. It indicated that Prashant Kishor will perhaps play a role in making Congress ready to face the BJP juggernaut in crucial 2024 Elections.

Earlier reports suggested that the meeting was regarding the fiasco in Punjab Congress. Congress is struggling to broker piece between its two top leaders- Captain Amarinder Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu.

Sources said this is not the first time Mr Kishor has met Gandhi family. This raise the possibility that Mr Kishor, who has been largely succesful in drawing strategies for regional leaders and parties to fight the BJP, will get responsibility to again join hands with Congress after is bitter experience in 2017 UP Elections.

Prashant Kishor has openly spoken about his dissatisfaction over Congress’ style of functioning and its apparent stasis, something that has dogged the party in most elections since then.

The sources said the presence of all three Gandhis is significant as it suggests that all three are in it together and any decision on a strategy will be unanimous.
