Election strategist Prashant Kishor for the second time in as many days briefed top Congress leaders at party president Sonia Gandhi’s official residence on Monday.
While the Congress has asked Mr. Kishor to formally join the party, Ms. Gandhi also asked a panel of leaders to study the proposals of the poll strategist and revert to her within a week.
Among those present in Monday’s meeting included former Union ministers P. Chidambaram, Jairam Ramesh, Mukul Wasnik, and Amibika Soni, party general secretaries Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (Uttar Pradesh), K.C. Venugopal (Organisation) and Randeep Surjewala (Karnataka). Former party chief Rahul Gandhi was not present as he is reported to have gone abroad, while some other invitees couldn’t make it because of short notice.
