It isn’t everyday that the news of poll strategy sessions at the residence of a national party president is let out in trickles for everyone to take notice. In the usual course of how such meetings go, it cannot happen if the party doesn’t want it to be known.
And the Congress did want it – the party wanted the brainstorming that took place at 10, Janpath over election strategist Prashant Kishor’s roadmap to the 2024 Lok Sabha poll to play out for public consumption, if not a media spectacle. That’s perhaps the most striking takeaway from the five-day marathon meetings held at party president Sonia Gandhi’s home.
