‘Prashant Kishor wanted Priyanka as Congress chief, free hand in effecting party reforms’

NEW DELHI: A day after party chief Sonia Gandhi set up an ’empowered action group 2024′ to address the political challenges ahead, Congress invited pollster Prashant Kishor to join the group.
AICC spokesman Randeep Surjewala tweeted on Tuesday, “Following a presentation and discussions with Prashant Kishor, Congress chief has… invited him to join the party as part of the group with defined responsibility. He declined. We appreciate his efforts and suggestion given to the party”.

At the heart of the disagreement appeared to be indications given by the two sides. While Congress suggested that he was being given a “defined responsibility”, Kishor claimed that he was asked to “take responsibility for polls.”
