Prashant Kishor Will Rejoin Politics, Soon
West Bengal has a new young contender that is emerging in the fourth phase of polls. This is no one else but the political strategist Prashant Kishor. But he has no plans to enter politics now. Speaking to the controversial journalist Arnab Goswami, that he is busy managing the political campaign for Mamata Banerjee, MK Stalin and has been recently roped in to help Captain Amarinder Singh as a political advisor to Punjab CM aswell.
He has his hands full and stated that he will re-enter politics only in a couple of years. He said he would not go revisit his previous failure and re-enter the political scenario afresh. Kishor has previously been a JDU’s Vice-president after successfully getting CM Nitish Kumar re-elected in 2015. Kishor does not have plans to remain an advisor forever. “I am not scared of being in the forefront,” he said while speaking to the media.
He had a bad patch with politics also when he was expelled from JDU for ‘anti-party activities’ after he openly spoke against CAA and questioned Nitish Kumar’s support for it.
