Congress chief Sonia Gandhi was "very keen" to involve Prashant Kishor in working out a strategy for the party even about a couple of months ago but the matter was "again delayed", senior Congress leader M. Veerappa Moily said on Tuesday and advocated that the poll strategist be inducted into the party now.
The former Union Minister said it is "quite heartening" to see that Ms. Gandhi has taken up the initiative to involve Mr. Kishor to come out with a strategy for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and the party's revival plan and strategy for the Assembly elections in Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura, Mizoram, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh and Telangana in 2022-2023.
"I was really looking forward for working out a strategy to prepare the Congress party for the upcoming assembly elections in 2023 and the Lok Sabha elections of 2024. In fact, she (Sonia Gandhi) was very keen to involve Prashant Kishor for working out a strategy for the Congress party about a couple of months back. But for some reasons the matter was again delayed," Mr. Moily told PTI in an interview.
