Prashant Kishor may be part of Congress’ Empowered Action Group, sources indicated
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.

“Prashant Kishor going to sick unit”: KCR’s son on talks with Congress
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.

Sources say that this decision of Prashant Kishor has come at a time when Congress refused to allow him to do with full freedom to revive the party with a senior rank. Instead they were given a place on a forum of discussion. Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala tweeted, “After Prashant Kishor’s presentation and discussion, Congress President Sonia Gandhi formed Empowered Action Group 2024 and offered him to join as a member of this group. In this, his responsibility was also marked, but he denied it. We appreciate his suggestions and efforts towards the party.”
However, it is not clear whether Prashant Kishor will work with the Congress during the assembly elections in the coming states. Notably, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s son KTR has clearly stated that he has an alliance with the I-PAAC (Indian Political Action Committee) for the election and not with Prashant Kishor. However, it is believed that under what conditions Prashant Kishor will come to Congress, the matter worsened due to lack of talk about it.
