Following the debacle of Congress and its alliance partner, the Samajwadi Party (SP) in the recently concluded Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly elections, a poster has appeared in front of the party’s office in Lucknow. The poster, bearing a photograph of Rajesh Singh, senior Congressman, who has served as a secretary four times for the party, announced a reward of Rs 5 lakh to anyone who found strategist Prashant Kishor.
Singh, who was suspended for his banter against Kishor at a party meeting chaired by veteran Raj Babbar over the weekend, stood by his words.
Kishor, a political strategist, came to the fore following an overwhelming victory of the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2014 where he was a strategist. He later worked with the Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal (United) campaign in 2015 for the Bihar assembly elections for which he was accorded the rank of a cabinet minister. Kumar had loaned him to the Congress for the Uttar Pradesh elections. Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh too, has praised Kishor for his work.
