NEW DELHI: Political strategist Prashant Kishor has begun advising the Congress, strategies to regain its old glory. Kishor is devising counter strategies after considering the party’s weaknesses.

However, it remains to be seen whether the Congress will accept the measures devised in a manner convincing the leadership of its faults and failures.

Kishor has put forward certain harsh suggestions before the party. He has even asked the Gandhi family to stay away from Congress national leadership. Kishor has also clarified on matters including the formation of alliances in states.

Prashant Kishor’s main suggestion is to form an alliance with Jagan Mohan Reddy’s YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh. The party should also form an alliance with Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress in West Bengal, he said.

From Uttar Pradesh, Priyanka Gandhi should enter into national politics. Rahul Gandhi should not take over the presidency. Instead, Rahul should focus on the fight against Modi.
