PK turns down offer to join Cong's empowered action group 2024

SAYS IT NEEDS LEADERSHIP, COLLECTIVE WILL TO FIX PROBLEMS

Amid speculations that he was likely to join hands with the Congress, poll strategist Prashant Kishor on Tuesday declined the offer to join the grand old party as part of its empowered action group.

In a tweet posted on his official account, Kishor said: “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."

Party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala also confirmed the same and said in a tweet: а “Following a presentation & discussions with Sh. Prashant Kishor, Congress President has constituted an 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."

Kishor was keen to join the Congress and had desired to do so without any expectations. He had also made a presentation to the party on which its top leaders deliberated upon during the last week.
