Poll strategist Prashant Kishor creates a rift by taking potshots at the party leadership, signalling that his entry into the grand old party has hit fresh roadblocks.
According to the reports, Kishor stated that those hoping for a revival of the Congress based on its Lakhimpur Kheri intervention are setting themselves up for a big disappointment. He tweeted- “People looking for a quick, spontaneous revival of GOP led opposition based on #LakhimpurKheri incident are setting themselves up for a big disappointment. Unfortunately, there are no quick-fix solutions to the deep-rooted problems and structural weakness of GOP.”
A section of Congress leaders stated that his entry has hit rough weather, given his continued association with the TMC, which is increasingly criticising the Congress in its quest to carve out a space in national politics. Another leader, who has always been critical of Kishor, claimed he is batting for TMC.
