“More Than Me, Party Needs leadership”: Prashant Kishor on declining Congress offer

Poll strategist Prashant Kishor has rejected an offer to join the Congress, party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said on Tuesday.

Randeep Surjewala said that Congress has constituted an Empowered Action Group 2024 and invited Kishor to join the party as part of the group but he declined.

“Following a presentation & discussions with Sh. Prashant Kishor, Congress President has constituted a Empowered Action Group 2024 & invited him to join the party as part of the group with defined responsibility. He declined. We appreciate his efforts & suggestion given to party,” tweeted Randeep Surjewala.

Parshant Kishor tweeted, “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.”

Prashant Kishor met the party leadership, including interim chief Sonia Gandhi, earlier this month and presented a blueprint for the 2024 elections.
