Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi has indicated that the Congress is considering roping in election strategist Prashant Kishor again to craft next year's election campaign. A video from a strategy session of the party showed the Chief Minister, after discussing the reduction in power tariffs and the upbeat mood of party workers, saying, "Harish Chaudhary jee (the Punjab in-charge of Congress) was even advising to hire Prashant Kishore".
In August, Prashant Kishor resigned as Principal Advisor to then Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, saying he would "not be involved" in the 2022 state elections.
Mr Kishor had crafted the campaign for Amarinder Singh in 2017, simultaneously with the campaign in Uttar Pradesh for the Congress-Samajwadi Party that failed. Ties between him and the Congress have been strained since.
The election strategist since has not minced words regarding his reservations about the Congress and Rahul Gandhi.
