New Delhi:
Election strategist Prashant Kishor has categorically rejected the Congress offer to join the party as part of its “Empowered Action Group” bringing to an end the months-long talks to rejuvenate the grand old party. Sources indicated that the 137-year-old party refused to give him a free hand, despite agreeing that the party needs a fresh face and strategy for the next general elections.
“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,” Mr Kishor tweeted shortly after the Congress announced his decision.
